Scotland by Motorcycle: Discover the Breathtaking Highlands and More
Experience the stunning beauty of Scotland on a unique motorcycle journey through iconic locations, rugged landscapes, and hidden gems, all organized by Blue Sky Bike Rides. This tour offers riders the chance to see Scotland at its best, where every turn reveals a new view of the awe-inspiring scenery.

During this 12-day adventure, you’ll visit scenic nature parks and legendary islands like the Isle of Arran, Kintyre, and the Isle of Skye. A stop at Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran is included, where you’ll explore a historic castle surrounded by beautiful gardens overlooking the sea. You’ll ride along the famous North Coast 500 route and make a spectacular ascent to Applecross, also known as “Bealach na Bà” – one of the Scottish Highlands’ most impressive roads. Along the way, you’ll pass the mysterious Loch Ness and have the chance to visit the royal Balmoral Castle. The further north you go, the quieter and wilder the surroundings become. The trip includes plenty of stops for ancient castles, serene lochs, and panoramic viewpoints. Thanks to the flexible setup, you set your own pace and choose where you’d like to pause.

In addition to incredible routes, Blue Sky Bike Rides offers an exclusive tour and tasting at a local whisky distillery for an authentic experience of Scottish culture. After a day full of adventure and new impressions, you’ll be warmly welcomed into cozy 3- or 4-star hotels, where you can relax over dinner with a glass of whisky and chat with fellow travelers about the day’s journey.

All-Inclusive Trips – Adjusting the Total Price Based on Motorcycle Choice

For our all-inclusive trips, we base the standard price on the most expensive motorcycle in our selection. This gives you the flexibility to choose the motorcycle that best suits your preferences.
If you opt for a less expensive motorcycle or decide to use your own, the corresponding amount for that motorcycle (including fuel) will be deducted from the total trip price.

If you choose to ride your own bike, fuel will not be included.
