Highland Wildcat Trail at Golspie reviewed by Singletrackworld member Jason Curle…
“The Highland Wildcat trial at Golspie is a long, long way away from me, but I would quite happily do the 20hr round trip again to ride it again.

“The trails are on the right hand side just as you come into the town.”

Will be up there with some regularity from September onwards, as folks now have a house on the peninsula across the firth. I’m quite excited to have this facility in proximity, and will be looking forward to trying it out, along with others in the area.
Peace
