Description | |||||
Ask anyone
what springs to mind when you mention "Scotland" and it'll likely to be
one of tartan, kilts, bagpipes or whisky. But why not "cycling"? The country harbours one of the largest wildernesses left in Western Europe, the Highlands. A wonderful cycling region. A destination where golden eagles soar above mysterious freshwater lakes, where winding roads roll up and down between jagged mountains, through quaint fishing villages, along medieval castles and smoky whisky distilleries, and where desolate stone fortresses looming in the mist. Every corner of this every-changing landscape is steeped in the past with infamous battles and gripping legends. The Highlands really is the Scotland of your imagination. We would like to welcome you in the Highlands 100 Hills. We start and finish our loop in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. Thanks to its spectacular rocks, rustic buildings and a huge collection of medieval and classic architecture, it is often considered one of the most lively cities in Europe. A city of high culture and lofty ideals, of art and literature, philosophy and science. Scottish people also called it "Athens of the North" and "Britain's Other Eye". Before we head north to the Highlands, we include Glasgow in our journey. It's roughly 50 miles to the west and is reached by small quiet roads through lowland meadows. The largest city of Scotland is on a par with its eastern sibling Edinburgh for historic significance and attractions. The city - always proud of its working-class background - also innovatively displays its industrial heritage, while modern buildings, many along the Clyde River, have quickly become local icons. |
