Skye (700 miles, approx) This is a three day tour to Skye enjoying some of Scotland's most popular scenic glens and lochs. General Information: The tour begins at our head office in Melrose
and heads
north, taking time to stop and enjoy several points of interest from the
Borderlands to the island of Skye. The theme of all our tours
on Scotland's country roads is for a relaxed and unhurried trip, enjoying local scenery and
popular historic sites. The nature of the roads on many of our chosen trips does not
encourage "speeding bullets" so we're promoting a sedate, leisurely
introduction to Scotland. Our Skye trip can be incorporated into any of our Highland routes. Evening prior to tour: All clients making use of our motorcycle hire facility are required to be at our head office in Melrose no later than 2 pm. We always try to arrange a pre-determined location (to be advised, but likely to be your accommodation if supplied by us) around 7.00 pm, when we will all be able to “get to know each other” and discuss our program over dinner at 7.30 pm. (Clients staying at Whitmuir Hall will be able to make use of the indoor heated swimming pool and sauna, any time during their stay.) Day 1, The North Run: (250 Miles Approx) On the first day we travel through the Borders, leaving our head office at Melrose around 9.00am, over the Firth of Forth and then head west to pick up on the old drove roads to Skye, arriving at our chosen accommodation around 7.00pm. It's a full day that takes in several major stops, including Killiecrankie Visitor Centre, Laggan Dam and the Commando Monument, with many additional stops if time permits, or if the weather is less than friendly. Our day finishes at Dornie with a group photo at Eilean Donan Castle. Day 2, The Hunt for Charlie: (180 Miles Approx) After a good Scottish breakfast we leave our accommodation and make our way to our first ferry crossing. The road to the ferry is like the ferry its self - small and requires good attention, giving an entertaining ride. On landing in Skye our first port of call is Broadford, where you have the option to run with us to see and ride our set route, or explore the Island's many small roads, by yourself or with others you have befriended. Our set route around the island allows you to rejoin the main group at any time, however we ask that you return to our accommodation around 7.00pm, eating as a group and talking about our day's experience. Day 3, The Road to London: (260 Miles Approx) We now follow Charlie's rise to glory and the route he took south to Derby ... but finishing our day back at our head office in Melrose. Its a full day and we certainly don't take the most direct route south as we take our second ferry of the trip at Armadale, landing at Mallaig, then on to Glenfinnan via some hidden sites and enjoying several memorable roads.
