Clothing and kit Scotland receives a generally mild climate all year round with the Gulf Stream passing our western coastline. There are even palm trees growing in the region! The east is generally a bit drier but cooler than the west, however conditions can and do change quickly especially on higher and more exposed areas. It can rain at any time of year, sometimes all day and we often get four seasons in a day, so come prepared! A full kit list is available on our website (http://www.trailbrakes.co.uk/output/kit_list.asp) and a list of useful items will also be sent to you when you book your trip with us. General climatic information from Scotland is available here: http://www.scotlandinfo.eu/weather-climate.html. Up- to-the-minute weather forecasts from specific regions of the UK are available at the met office website (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/). It is advisable to bring a small back-pack (between 15 and 20 litre capacity) with you on your trip, in which you can carry spare clothes and basic spares and tools that you might need during the course of a day on the bikes. In some cases, where we will be riding in wilderness for the full day, food and drink will also need to be carried. Midges! Midges (small biting insects) can be a pest in the Highlands but are usually not a problem when you’re on the move. If you decide to stop for a break in a sheltered spot where there is no wind and there are trees and water in the vicinity, there will always be midges around. They rarely cause a serious problem, they’re more of a nuisance, but some people react badly to their bites and develop an itchy red spot which can be irritating. Some insect repellent is advisable, those containing DEET being the most effective, and cream is available in pharmacies that relieve the irritation of the bites. The trails There is almost every type of trail imaginable on this trip, from purpose built cycle paths to old drove roads, forestry trails and superb single-track. The surfaces are all generally hard packed or rocky. Some parts are technically challenging so some off-road experience will be required. This trip has a Fitness Grading of 4/5 which means that you should have a high level of fitness and stamina from regularly taking part in cycling-based activities and you should be comfortable riding for 8 hours per day. The route will include sections of physically demanding terrain including long, steep climbs. This trip has a Technical Grading of Red/Black, meaning that the route is suitable for proficient mountain bikers. Trails can be steep and rough with some technical sections including large rocks and water crossings. Some off-road biking experience is required. Guided trips Our guided trips are designed to give you a hassle free way to enjoy the amazing biking in Scotland. We include a friendly, knowledgeable, SMBLA qualified guide who, as well as navigating you along the trials, can also give you tips to improve any aspect of your riding and take you on the best trails in the area. Our guides also carry spares and tools to help you keep rolling in the event of a mechanical problem, though if you’re bringing your own bike you would be advised to bring spare inner tubes and spare parts specific to your bike, for example brake pads and rear mech hanger. In the event of a serious mechanical problem, our guides will be on hand to take you to a local bike shop. Our guides are trained in outdoor-specific first aid techniques so will make sure you, as well as you bike, are well looked after on the trails.

  • Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 18 Kinlochhourne -Knoydart – Morar Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This very large area, extending 1065 km2 across Lochalsh and Lochaber, is the fourth most extensive WLA and only narrowly separated from the second largest, Central Highlands (WLA 24). It runs from Glen Shiel in the north and includes a large proportion of the Knoydart peninsula and the hills between Lochs Quoich, Arkaig and Eil and Eilt, and around the eastern part of Loch Morar. Major routes flank its far northern and southern edges, the latter to nearby Fort William, but it is otherwise distant from large population centres. It is one of only three mainland WLAs to be defined in part by the coast, on its western edge. The area contains in the north and west high, angular and rocky mountains with sweeping slopes towering over a series of steep sided glens and lochs, which extend into a more jumbled mass of rugged mountains within the central interior, with linear ranges of simpler massive hills in the east. These are formed of hard metamorphic rock that was carved during glaciation, creating features such as pyramidal peaks, corries, U-shaped glens, moraine and the remarkable fjords of Lochs Hourn and Nevis. Later erosion is also evident with the presence of burns, gorges, waterfalls and alluvial deposits. The distinctive landform features are highlighted against the open space and horizontal emphasis of adjacent sea and lochs. The WLA is largely uninhabited, apart from a few isolated crofts and estate settlements around the coast and loch shores.

  • 2.1 Rob Roy and the Jacobites
    12 2.1 Rob Roy and the Jacobites Rob Roy MacGregor, the third son of Donald Glas MacGregor of Glengyle and Margaret Campbell, was born in Glengyle, on Loch Katrine-side, in 1671. He spent much of his life in the Trossachs, the area of lochs and rugged hills lying east of Loch Lomond. From Aberfoyle to Killin, the Way skirts the eastern edge of the Trossachs. Rob Roy was a man of property and was involved in large-scale cattle droving and dealing. He and his brother Iain developed the Lennox Watch, a body that offered ‘protection’ to cattle owners in return for money. When protection money was not paid, cattle tended mysteriously to ‘disappear’. Activities like this by the MacGregors and some other clans gave us the word ‘blackmail’, black for nefarious deeds and the colour of most of the cattle of past times; mail from Scots and Gaelic words for rent or payment. (The larger, and mainly red-brown Highland cows that we see today are a 19th century cross-breed.) After his father was captured and imprisoned, at the age of only 30 Rob Roy effectively became the Chief of a leading section of his pugnacious and persecuted clan. In those days the powerful Duke of Montrose was his patron. His luck changed and his business collapsed when his drover Duncan MacDonald disappeared, taking with him the enormous sum of £1000 intended for cattle purchase. In 1712 the Duke of Montrose (to whom he owed money) turned against him and had him bankrupted and outlawed. His wife and family were evicted, and several of his houses were burned or ransacked.

  • Eilean Shona
    EILEAN SHONA PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS AND ANECDOTES by IAN BROOKS Introduction Moidart is one of the most picturesque regions of the Western Highlands, boarded on the east by Loch Shiel and stretching across to the coast in the west and from Ardnamurchan and Sunart in the south to Morar in the north. Within this small area are stark contrasts of terrain – there are the flat low level peat bogs at the mouth of Loch Shiel called Moss, so called after the unusual and rare mosses that flourish there. Along the coast on the eastern side there are numerous small rocky islands with lush foliage flourishing from the effects of the warm Gulf Stream, and then there is the spectacular mountain range of Roshven (Rois-Bhein) 2895ft rising from the shore with its white sandy beaches across to Loch Shiel. Within this variety of glorious and enchanting scenery there is an abundance of historical interest from 1000AD to the present day. Especially so during the 18th Century when the strong Catholic faith of its inhabitants and the influence of the Clanranalds and their supporters provided support to Charles Edward Stuart and the events leading up to the Jacobite rising in 1745. Eilean Shona, my mother‟s home, is a small island at the entrance to Loch Moidart in the south west of the region. My interest in her family took me to the thriving settlement of Mingarry, just 3 miles from Loch Moidart, to visit the parish‟s small Catholic chapel. Some years ago a member of the family was privileged to be allowed to peruse and record extracts of appropriate entries from the parish „Record of Births‟, which date back to the 1700‟s.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Glenshiel Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Glenshiel The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
