I'm travelling to and from Orkney in a few weeks on a family trip and fancy a bit of a detour through the "Flow Country" en route either to or from the ferry. Likely to take a gravel bike and not looking for anything too epic in terms of distances as I'll have to coordinate with crossing times and family things either way.
Rough area = between Lairg/Bonar and Gills Bay/Scrabster, happy with cruisey links to Inverness if time permits. Probably roughly linear north/south or vice versa. Other interests = birding, headwinds and biting insects. Does anyone have any routes they could recommend?
there are some long estate roads that run inland and north from Dunbeath ( first on tarmac to breamore lodge??) on the A9 I have always wanted to investigate. Looks like you can use them for a loop onto the A9 south of Scrabster Never ridden them tho
