How often (if at all) are these routes closed due to deer stalking? I'm thinking of going to ride them in mid august / september. The link below lists lots of nearby hills as potentially having access issues
Ive been walking and riding in the Scottish Highlands for 40 years. I've once been asked to make a small diversion to avoid a shoot. The estates know where all the main routes and throughways are and avoid them where possible.
Similar to scotroutes I have once been asked to take an alternative path to avoid shooters. Other than that its not an issue generally.

I phoned the estate office with regard to stalking while planning a bothy trip to Maol Bhuidhe, I only got as far as saying where we were heading & was told, ‘ach, you’ll be fine’.
Probably better to make double sure by phoning though.
Lucky you ..to have any chance of riding them that is ..
I'm staying in a cottage in Annat ( family holiday) mid August and Im not allowed to take my bike..!
It's bloody killing me ..
You can rent bikes at the Torridon.Hotel....

I had noticed that and will be sneaking some bike gear into the car ..
It's still a long shot though 😎
