Explore Scotland your way, with 10,000+ km of tested routes to choose from.
Roam Scotland is a charity and cycling community making bikepacking in Scotland more accessible.
We create tested routes and rides that take you beyond the beaten track and into Scotland’s wild places.
We run an annual seven-day rally and organise weekend adventures for members throughout the year.
All our routes are tested and offer a choice of difficulty on most stages.
Rugged is our standard option, with each day being around 100km, 1,300m of climbing and 50% off-road, making it gravel-bike friendly.
Our rolling routes are generally shorter, with less climbing and less off-road riding.
And for those looking for a greater challenge, BoMB sections (Better on Mountain Bikes) provide optional tougher alternatives.
Roam is more than following a line on a map. It’s about exploring Scotland at your own pace, choosing your own level of adventure and enjoying the journey along the way.
Explore – Discover the quieter roads, tracks and wild places that make Scotland special.
Choose your adventure – From a weekend wander to a serious off-road challenge, ride at your own pace.
Enjoy the journey – No racing. No pressure. Just great riding, great places and the freedom to Roam.
As a charitable community benefit society, Roam Scotland raises money to support our charity partners while covering our minimal running costs.
Our main source of income is donations from members taking part in our events. We ask those who can afford to contribute to make a donation, while recognising that everyone has different circumstances. Every contribution helps us keep Roam going and support the causes we care about.
