Classic 'natural' woodland singletrack through some of Scotland's finest scenery, with a selection of trails to suit every ability and interest. 17 miles north of Dumfries on the A76. 90 miles / 2 hrs from Stranraer.

Since 2002, Drumlanrig has played host to the Scottish Cross Country Mountain Bike Championships. A mountain bike trail was constructed for these events and is now way-marked for everyone to enjoy.

The course is constantly evolving with new sections of singletrack being added to extend the overall distance and add to enjoyment.

It offers classic 'natural' woodland singletrack through some of Scotland's finest scenery, with a selection of trails to suit every ability and interest, from gnarly mountain bike singletrack, to swooping family trails, to quiet country back roads.

My favourite scottish trail.
The one word used to describe it by many is "rooty".
I have only ridden it in the dry so they weren't an issue.
It will tire you out as you are constantly working the bike to keep your speed up.

You may not get the feeling of "epic-ness" that the 7stanes centres give, but on the other hand, you get to ride through forests of natural trees.
