Celtic Glens is an epic ride taking you through Scotland’s stunning countryside, coasts and cities. Starting in historic Aberdeen, cycle through to enjoy breath-taking views of the Moray Firth coastline and spot the most northerly colony of Bottlenose Dolphins in the world. Turning inland, Culloden Battlefield marks where the 1745 Jacobite Rising came to a tragic end in one of the most harrowing battles in British history.

EuroVelo 1 then links Inverness, the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands, with the former shipbuilding city Glasgow via two fantastic National Parks. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park contains picturesque lochs, forests and bustling tourist towns. The Cairngorms National Park extends over the UK's largest mountain range, with heather-clad moors and ancient pine forests. Leaving the city of Glasgow behind, head for the Ayrshire coast and seaside towns before leaving it all behind in the remote countryside around Galloway Forest Park. Head back to civilization at Newton Stewart and explore Wigtown, Scotlands’ National Booktown before heading to the ferry port in Stranraer.

Note: There is a ferry connection between Cairnryan (Scotland) and Belfast/Larne (Northern Ireland) operated by Stena Line and P&O ferries.

Development status
  • Certified These sections were awarded the official EuroVelo Certification label, ensuring high-quality cycling conditions.They were surveyed in the field by EuroVelo Route Inspectors to respect minimum requirements for motorised traffic levels, surface quality, EuroVelo signage, and access to services as defined by the European Certification Standard (ECS) methodology. EuroVelo Certified routes are the best options for beginners!
  • Developed + Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic, rideable surfaces, and EuroVelo signs along the route. Developed routes with signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app as signs can have defects.
  • Developed + Not Signed These sections offer generally good cycling conditions, with limited motorised traffic and rideable surfaces, but without EuroVelo signs. Developed routes without signs are suitable for most cyclists. However, short stretches with lower-quality conditions may occur, and it is warmly recommended to bring a map or navigation app.
  • Partially Developed + Signed Cycling is possible here, but conditions vary. Some stretches may have high motorised traffic or poor surfaces, even though EuroVelo signs are in place. Partially developed routes with signs are suitable for experienced cyclists only, and it is recommended to bring a map or navigation app and check national/regional websites for more information. ECF and National EuroVelo Coordination Centres are working on improvements.
