The Scottish Six Days Trial

The Scottish Six Days Trial is a Motorcycle Trial with a difference!  It has the additional test of reliability over long distances with riders completing up to 100 miles each day over six consecutive days. Each day they will take on a combination of rough moorland, rocky tracks and public roads in the best - and worst - weather the Highlands of Scotland can throw at them!

Glenfinnan Highland Gathering

Glenfinnan

Glenfinnan Highland Games is a must see for your itinerary if you are visiting Lochaber in August.

The Games location is superb - surrounded by mountains and water and not to forget the railway viaduct where the steam train goes by in the morning. Glenfinnan is where the Jacobites raised their battle standards to war on the English Crown.
