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.

  • 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.

NOTE: The trails on this site have been ridden before, but you should not interpret their inclusion as an indication that mountain-biking is officially sanctioned on them. Seeking permission from landowners is your own responsibility, as is conducting yourself in a manner that is courteous, respectful to the environment, and conscious of the safety of others.
