Don't often see this sign.

No not the 'tea room one' the one next to it!

A939 through the Cairngorms National park nice little run down to Balmoral.

About 5 miles south of Tomintoul, a wee bit after you cross the bridge itself

Interesting , not that I have a smart phone but Mag Ireland have a new App and while it's in its early days I'm sure I heard that they hope to include bike friendly restaurants and cafes at some stage..

Did a B roads trip to the borders a month or so ago and came across the Buccleuch Arms Hotel in Moffat. A very welcoming and Biker friendly place.

The owner and his son (and missus) are bikers. He is happy to spend time offering advice on good biking roads ( that's most of them!) in the region and updates on weather forecasts, or just talking bikes. There are lockable, dedicated steel bike enclosures (steel sheds) around the back.

The roads in the area are fantastic biking roads. And empty!

Is your memory going Reg? Killeen was one as I recall. A couple with that nice Rhodesian family that run the Buccluech at Moffat with the steel garages. I could be mistaken!
