Highland Defenders

We hire Land Rover Defenders complete with roof tents and with all the equipment you need for a true overland adventure in the Scottish Highlands. Hiring a Defender with a roof is undoubtedly one of the very best ways to explore the furthest reaches of northern Scotland. Stop whenever and wherever you like, simply pop the tent up in 60 seconds and that is you for the night. Our roof tents even have a stargazing window for those cloudless night skies. Our complete camping kits include sleeping equipment, cooking equipment, cleaning equipment and much more. We can even deliver your Defender to you. For more information, please visit our website.

My wife and I have just returned from a 7 day trip around the NC500 on the B roads. This was a an exceptional holiday, not just the scenery but also the quality of service from booking to handing back the vehicle. The 4x4's are maintained really well and all the camping gear is in excellent condition. We couldn't fault any part of the trip and are looking forward to booking in the near future. Thank you

Fantastic bike hire today from the guys at Ride. Parents with teenagers 15/17. Easy free parking on the other side of the train station. Brilliant bikes for the varied woodland trails and off-road paths nearby - Focus hardtail MTBs with fat tyres and great gears. Helmets, locks and repair kit included. Very friendly and helpful with good advice on the routes, a free area map and a laminated sheet with the woodland trails clearly mapped.

Based on the wonderful Rothiemurchus Estate (Cairngorms National Park), we offer child & adult mountain bike hire for half/full-day or multi-day bookings. Also available are trailers & tag-a-longs for small children. We also take bookings for other activities like Segway tours and archery tasters.

Easy to find on the Rothiemurchus Estate. Free parking could even walk there if you were staying in Aviemore itself. We were met by our guide Reece who gave clear concise instructions and advice and instilled confidence into us. We have done segway before this was quite challenging with different climbs and decents our 10 year old did better than any of us. It was the best and most challenging segway experience we have done to date. Great fun thanks.

Hired two mountain bikes for a few days. Staff very helpful and offered guidance on local routes plus all equipment cleaned thoroughly before being provided. We were allowed to collect bikes the night before the rental started which was really helpful. Bikes themselves were decent quality hardtail Marin Bobcats. Not the lightest bikes but decent quality and easily good enough for the trails. Cycling helmets and bike locks are provided if required as part of the rental.
