Motorcycle Scotland - The Best Motorbike Routes in Scotland

The Bruce Run Route

This route takes you through Robert The Bruce territory and into the centre of the Galloway Forest to Glentrool. An area that Robert The Bruce camped at in 1307. From Bruce's stone you get a magnificent 360 Degree view of the area.

You will not regret Glentrool. Just one of the places that you will feel privileged to have seen.

Approximate Distance:	175 miles (282 km)
Approximate Duration:	5 hours 5 minutes

Filling Stations on Route

A great run with a number of fueling stations on route. However, I would refuel before you go into the Galloway Forest Park as you may want to deviate from the route and explore the numerous road networks within the Galloway Forest Park.

Route At A Glance

A stunning run but don't get lost in the forest.

Watch Out For

Forrester's muck on the road as you are in the Galloway forest but it is not bad, just need to be aware.
