Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping, and the selected routes set out from various points across the area, including Greenock, Glentrool, Peebles and Milngavie, with good access from both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The guidebook also gives an overview of what the region’s MTB trail centres have to offer, including the famous 7stanes trail centre, along with advice on equipment, maintenance and safety.

Southern and Central Scotland is renowned for its superlative MTB trail centres, but the region’s rolling hill country is also traversed by an extensive network of tracks, paths, forest roads and other trails providing endless possibilities for ‘free range’ mountain biking.
