North East Scotland - 21 Motorcycle Roads

A82 : Crianlarich - Glencoe Village
North East Scotland , United Kingdom
January 5, 2005 - 4.3

Scenery is picture postcard and the best aspect of the route for me, although there are a few straights and a number of nice corners. Road condition is generally pretty good but this can be a busy road, including caravans, being directly on the path to Fort William and other northern delights. I've...

A827 : Killin - Ballinluig
North East Scotland , United Kingdom
June 2, 2005 - 2.0

Kenmore to Ballinluig my particular favourite section of this. The road runs alongside Loch Tay and past the 1400m 'Ben Lawers' mountain, great scenary and some nice, technical corners. I rode this last summer and I see it's featured in the June '05 edition of RiDE magazine!!

A84 : Doune - Lochearnhead
North East Scotland , United Kingdom
January 4, 2005 - 4.3

Nice selection of sweepers from Doune, Doune is quite a nice place in itself.

A85 : Lochearnhead - Crianlarich
North East Scotland , United Kingdom
March 29, 2005 - 3.0

A nice pleasant route, nice scenery, & nice corners, a popular tourist route in summer, an alternative route to the north.

A85 : Tyndrum - Oban
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 20, 2005 - 4.2

A selection of really good corners in some great scenario. Some of the route runs alongside an old Steam Railway line which is still in use and check out the bridge over Loch Creran. Recommended.

A86 : Newtonmore - Spean Bridge ( Loch Laggan )
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
February 24, 2008 - 4.5

Newtonmore to Laggan section - mixture of all types of corners, needs lot of concentration.
Laggan to Spean Bridge - lovely scenery, lots of fast corners and straight section.
Beware of Johnny Foreigner thought in the summer months. He is quite liable to be all over the road and stopp...

A9 : Perth - Inverness
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
December 26, 2004 - 2.4

Quite a long route, but noteworthy nonetheless. The scenary is great and there are many nice features on this route (of particular interest is the section around Cairngorms). No independant section of this is singularly spectacular, but the road as a whole is great.

A93 : Blairgowrie - Ballater (Glenshee and Royal deeside)
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 20, 2005 - 4.6

Great biking road which takes you from Blairgowrie over Glenshee and into Royal Deeside. Braemar is a good stopping off point en route. For those who don't want to return via the same route (I think the return journey is even better), the B976/B974 road from Ballater to Fettercairn can be taken wh...

A939 : Ballater - Dava
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 2, 2005 - 4.4

Beautiful Scottish scenary, great selection of sweepers and climbs and descents. Recommended.

A941 : Rhynie - Craigellachie
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 18, 2008 - 4.0

Enjoy ever changing scenery as it flows through 12 miles of heather, forest, streams with mountains on either side.
The road T-Juctions just below Dufftown, turn left and ride into the town, at the town clock, turn right to Craigellachie.
Lunch at the Craigellachie hotel is a real trea...

A944 : Aberdeen - Westhill - Alford - Lumsden
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 13, 2008 - 4.0

The best part of this starts sust outside Alford, turn right and over the bridge heading for Strathdon. The road follows the River Don through a refreshing forest with plenty of sweepers. After about 8 miles, theres a turn off for Strathdon, dont take it - go straight through to Lumsden. 3 miles pas...

A95 : Keith - Speybridge ( The Speyside Whiskey Run )
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
November 19, 2005 - 4.0

Starting from Keith you head towards Grantown on Spey on the A96, after the whiskey warehouses take the A95 and enjoy the sights and smells (fine malts) along the way. An excellent 180 degree bend at Ballindalloch which should be done a few times in each direction. A few twisty sections have too man...

B8019 : Tummel Bridge - Pitlochry
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
November 14, 2007 - 5.0

At Tummel Bridge, turn right (B8019) heading towards Queens View, the A9 and Pitlochry. Views of Loch Tummel and the ride through Queens View are awesome and wonderful. I look at this route as one road rather than a series of connections. Its not a fast route. The beauty is - a constant change of sp...

B9008 : Bridge of Avon - Tomintoul
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
July 7, 2007 - 4.0

This is part of an alternative route to the A9 north (A939 and A93 being the other parts). It takes you a bit out the way if your heading to Inverness but its well worth it. When I say out the way I only mean about 70km, its nothing for the scenery you will see and the roads are great but watch ou...

B9009 : Dufftown - Glenlivet
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
August 14, 2008 - 4.0

Another nice road in this stunning part of the country, some nice corners through a great environment.

B9102 : Craigellachie - Granton On Spey
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 13, 2008 - 3.0

Crossing the River Spey onto the B9102. This well paved, twisty single track follows the west bank Spey for 15 miles to Granton-on-Spey. A gorgeous ride where pheasants and squirrels abound with the occasional deer. Theres a good ice cream shop on the main street in Granton thats well worth a bre...

Ben Lawers Road ( Killin - Bridge of Balgie )
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
November 14, 2007 - 5.0

A great alternative rural route when traversing Perthshire. Taken south to north from Killin. A827 from Killin at about 5 miles, turn left into the Ben Lawers park towards Bridge of Balgie and Glen Lyon. This is a single track for about 12 miles with spectacular views of Ben Lawers, smaller peak...

Bridge of Balgie - Keltneyburn ( River Lyon Road )
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
November 14, 2007 - 3.0

Cross over the Bridge of Balgie, turn right and immediately stop at the country Post Office for one of the best bowls of soup on the planet before continuing through the finest forested Glen (Lyon) in Scotland towards Fontingall. Fontingall is home to some beautiful thatched cottages (by McLaren) a ...

Crieff - Aberfeldy (via Sma' Glen) A85/A822/A826
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
January 14, 2011 - 4.0

23.5 miles. The Sma Glen (on the A822 section) is just a magical place ... stunning scenery. The road itself is a hoot with lots and lots of bends .. plenty of decent straights too. This is a favourite route for local bikers.

Highland Twisties
North East Scotland ..., United Kingdom
May 13, 2011 - 3.0

Open flowing twisties beginning in the spectacular setting of Ballater in the Cairngorm National park.Ends in the seaside town of Banff. Fantastic biker friendly hotel/B&B at halfway point- Kildrummy Inn. Wet bikes welcome!
