The Cairngorms — Scotty's Scotland Showcase

The Cairngorms is the UK’s largest National Park. We headed to Laggan Wolftrax, Laggan Brown, to climb Dum-da-Lamph, ride at Glenlivet, head up the Munro Sgòr Gaoith and on a local recommendation explore some new trails in Burnside!

Laggan is known as the UK’s most progressive trail centre, famous for it’s massive rock slabs and technical ascents and descents. One of my favourite features is the ginormous rock slab, Air’s Rock.

On the other side of the National Park is Glenlivet, where they’ve been developing new trails and just this year they built an orange jump line. We also had the chance to check out their ‘Mini DH’ trail which is a hand cut natural trail with a good sized jump line.

Sgòr Gaoith is one of my favourite Munros in the Cairngorms, thanks to it being relatively accessible. Reaching the summit you have an incredible view and the descent is fast and technical all the way back down.

Burnside is the trail network above Aviemore where the trails are rugged, burly and hand cut.

All the revenue generated from viewership across the YouTube series will be split between planting more trees in Scotland and the local trail associations. If you want to ride any of these trails for yourself then be sure to check out the Tours below.
