Cycling in the Hebrides

This guidebook is designed for both cycle touring and centre-based cycling across Scotland’s Inner and Outer Hebrides, with additional routes around Arran, the Clyde and Kintyre. Whether you want to plan a full island-hopping itinerary to suit any ability, or enjoy a few great rides while on holiday, the book gives you the flexibility to do both.

It includes 37 circular or out-and-back day rides, plus 22 linking routes that can be combined into tours ranging from a long weekend to a two-week adventure. The day rides range from 19 to 60km (12–70 miles), while the long-distance touring itineraries cover 106-973km (66–973 miles) overall. The Hebridean Way, one of Scotland's most iconic long-distance cycling routes, is included, along with guidance on riding it end-to-end or adapting it to suit your time, ability, and ferry connections.
