Top 10 Gear Rentals in Scottish Highlands, Scotland

June 10, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

Being fitted with the correct size of an e-bike. Not much of a cyclist I was rather apprehensive before arriving as my husband does like to keep on going!! But after we were shown the ins and outs of all the speeds my confidence was on a high. A very wet afternoon and a map in hand we set off up to conquer Neptunes Staircase locks after the guy in the shop showed us the way plus a few extra miles. Thoroughly had a great afternoon, and managed a little over 20 miles, had the top speed on the way back as the wind was so strong along with the driving rain. Definitely would recommend.

Reviewed By katieaN1997DI

Can not review this experience highly enough. From start to finish, it was superb and represents excellent value for money. We are a family of 4, 3 of us wanted to fish, one of whom is disabled. Mark gave us all the information & all the options to allow us to get the best experience we could. The 3 lads went fishing along with Mark as a guide, who was very helpful, of course, with the fishing, and very informative of the area, and the nature surrounding the loch. The place to camp at the bottom of his garden is be far the best, most picturesque place we have camped all holiday. There were cows paddling in the evening across the loch, and when it fell still, the reflection in the loch of the boats, mountains and the sky was beautiful.

I bought a bike from here and their service was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and they took their time to go through the whole set up process with me. A great service.
