Scotland July 2027: Glens, Greens, Gears

A ten-day itinerary that blends world-class cycling, historic golf, authentic Scottish outdoor adventure, and traditional culture while maintaining a comfortable, low-travel pace. By anchoring the group in two distinct geographical areas, and accepting that someone will inevitably lose a golf ball in the bunker, we get the best of Scotland without the rush.

We kick off in Edinburgh for the Tour de France Grand Départ before transitioning to a Private Castle in Perthshire. Just for you. Backed by dedicated luxury midi-coach transportation, you unpack just twice, skip the daily suitcase shuffle, and focus entirely on great rides, cold pints and muddy shoes.
