On yer bike!

TOURISTS are being encouraged to get on their bikes with the introduction of a new format for the annual one-day Ride of the North for 2021.


Begun in 2011, when ROTN had just 37 participants, the event has grown spectacularly and raises much-needed funds for charity, with more than 1,000 bookings already having been made.

This year’s event was cancelled because of Covid-19 but will go ahead next August in the foothills of the Cairngorms and the famed Malt Whisky Trail.

Some of the Highlands’ many castles and glens will also feature on the route.

Watch this space for updates.
