Cairngorms Gravel Loop - Ballater, Balmoral & Loch Muick. Gravel Rides Scotland Route 17.

A Cairngorms gravel bike adventure in Royal Deeside. This epic ride takes in Route 17 in Ed Shoote’s Gravel Rides Scotland. It starts in Ballater, passes through Balmoral Estate, skirts Lochnagar then drops down to Loch Muick. A 7-mile road descent then takes you back to Ballater.

This is a highly recommended, adventurous loop which can be linked with other routes in the area, one of which I previously covered here:    • Gravel Ride in Cairngorms near Braema...  

Apologies to locals and other pronunciation sticklers, I already knew it’s pronounced Glen/Loch “Mick”, but for some odd reason I constantly refer to it as “Muck”! 🤪
