Another Way to enjoy yourself!
The Southern Uplands are ideal for biking - both on and off the road! It's little wonder in fact that Kirkpatrick Macmillan invented the bike here in 1838 in the village of Keir Mill by Moniaive!

With nearly 500 miles of National Cycle Routes in Dumfries and Galloway alone, the South of Scotland is fast becoming the UK mecca for biking. Innerleithen boasts one of the best downhill routes in Europe and is just one of the many developed by the Seven Stanes Project providing dedicated biking areas the breadth of the country.
