For sure, and when you are up you could take in the Kyle of Sutherland trails at Balblair by bonar bridge.

Golspie is Brill, the Balblair trails are worth a visit if you;re making a weekend of it, as is Learnie Red Rock. Few pics here:

4-5 hours journey that. Def worth staying over and doing it again!

Golspie is fantastic. Pray for good weather to enjoy the spectacular view. Balblair is nice too and there are some short trails at Carbisdale castle that are worth a wee blast. Definitely a weekend trip though rather than a day trip. Brilliant cheap, quirky accommodation at Rogart from sleeperzzz.com

Those are great photos JoJo.
I rolled over everything rollerble and walked everything else.
Wish I had the courage to jump them as you have.

Bunnyhop, it's taken ages to get the courage to do the drops and jumps there, but I started small and worked up with coaching from mates. Still working on it too.

Best trail I've ever ridden. I can't wait to get back there and I live in Gloucestershire...

Aye, good point, the YHA at Carbisdale is pretty spectacular

and the Carbisdale trails run from the front door. You could do a lap before breakfast!

Agree - great trails.

Golspie - start of the superb finale

Balblair - great rocky riding

Sleeperzzz is, as Jojo says, quirky and unique and two minutes walk from the Pittentrail Inn, also "quirky and unique" in a Highland Theme Pub sort of way...
