Now that the travel ban has been lifted, cyclists are finally able to leave their council area and will be looking to cycle further afield.
With this in mind, here are 11 of the best places in Scotland to get in the saddle.
5. The Borders Abbey Trail
A great way to see the Borders, this 55 mile route takes in the abbeys of Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso and Jedburgh, as well as plenty of beautiful countryside. For those looking for a shorter challenge, each of the legs can be tackled separately. Photo: Canva
