    John D. Burns talks to Dave Barter about his new book Great Scottish Bike Rides. (Available to pre-order now) Released 6 July. Scotland has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world yet many cyclists have yet to explore its wild roads. David has selected 25 of the finest routes available for all abilities. The book brings together twenty-five carefully curated road routes that showcase the very best cycling Scotland has to offer. From quiet Highland passes and rolling Borders roads to dramatic island loops on Mull, Skye, Arran and Bute, every ride has been ridden and refined to deliver an exceptional day in the saddle. The view from the summit of Bealach na Ba one of Scotland's most challenging rides. Photo Derek Williams David speaks about how his interest in cycling began and why he is so fascinated by the Scottish landscape. "In 2013 I left a well paid job to go on a mission to find the best road cycling in Great Britain and as a result “Great British Bike Rides” was born. In writing it I reaffirmed my love for Scotland and the fact that it really is my favourite place in the world. I’ve been visiting for over thirty years, returning year after year, and no matter how many times I go back, I find something new and a reason to return again. I’ve ridden bikes in many countries and many great locations, but Scotland offers something unique. Its road riding has long lived in the shadow of mountain biking and a handful of famous climbs, yet the real appeal lies elsewhere. The landscape delivers challenge, beauty and solitude in equal measure, and the roads follow the land rather than fighting it. Every ride feels different, shaped by weather, light and chance encounters. There is no such thing as a typical Scottish ride." https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dakymd4od7t/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Riding in the Highlands can come with its own challenges. A s David Explains. "I set out to ride Glen Kiltarlity without checking the snow cover. It was sunny in Tomatin when I left but once I got to the Glen I encountered some snow drifts. I thought I’d walk on for a bit to see if it cleared. After an hour I was committed. It didn’t clear until I reached the top after hours and hours of pushing my bike. I had a similar problem in Tarbert when it rained torrentially for the whole of the ride. I completed the loop with no photos and in a really bad mood so wrote no copy at all and had to go back and do it all over again months later. This has happened on many occasions and I now know these routes intimately." Cycling in Scotland offers two wheeled adventures unlike anywhere else in the UK. David's expertly written book will offer any cyclist, from beginner to expert the chance to explore the country's finest routes.

    Steve Micklewright: Scottish Rewilding Alliance | Podcast
    2026/07/16
    As you gaze across the landscape of the Highlands you will see vast areas of magnificent hills and lochs that stir the imagination, but look closer at that scenery and a different picture emerges. What the tourist sees from their car windscreen, or the hillwalker admires from the summit of a mountain, is not a wilderness where nature rules, it is a scarred, desolate land, stripped of its forests and wildlife where nature clings to the edges of the landscape by its fingertips. You can play your part in showing just how important rewilding is by signing the Rewilding Nation Charter In this podcast, John D. Burns talks to Steve Micklewright Past - Convenor of the Scottish Rewilding Alliance and Chief Executive of Trees for Life about the organisations that are working together across for a wilder Scotland. Steve Mickelwright “Climate breakdown and nature loss mean we face an unprecedented threat to our way of life and our children’s future. But it’s not too late. Scotland can lead the way as a Rewilding Nation to benefit nature, climate and people,” said Steve. Scotland is ranked 212 out of 240 countries and territories for the state of its nature, and 11% of its species face extinction. Intensive agriculture and climate breakdown are having the biggest impacts on biodiversity, according to the authoritative State of Nature 2023 report, with other threats including non-native forestry, pollution, and introduced species. This is undermining access to food, fresh water and clean air. It is hampering efforts to lock away carbon, and harming people’s health and wellbeing, says the Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of more than 20 organisations. Beaver Release, Glen Affric 24th October 2025Photo: Paul Campbell. But growing numbers of communities, charities, farmers and landowners are taking action to turn Scotland’s nature crisis around – helping society cope with climate breakdown’s floods, wildlife die-offs, droughts and crop failures, while creating jobs and economic opportunities. The Scottish Rewilding Alliance calculates 2.1% of Scotland’s land is now rewilding, with more than 150 projects covering at least 160,000 hectares, from community woodlands to landscape-scale partnerships. This includes members of Rewilding Britain’s UK-wide Rewilding Network, and the Scotland-wide Northwoods Rewilding Network, led by SCOTLAND: The Big Picture. Rewilding 30% of Scotland can be achieved by restoring wild habitats including peatlands, native woodlands, wetlands, rivers and seas, with no loss of productive farmland. Rewilding goes hand-in-hand with nature-led farming, fishing and forestry, the Alliance says. Produced by SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, the Why Not Scotland? film explores the Scottish landscape through the eyes of Flo Blackbourn, a young Scot from Glasgow, who sets out on a personal journey to find inspiring examples of major nature recovery around Europe. https://youtu.be/FFypWj1bjPk?si=G_iDTwWx6nM_od-c One of the great success stories of rewilding has been the reintroduction of the beaver into Scotland. A family of five beavers and a beaver pair have been released at two sites on Loch Beinn a Mheadhoin in the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve in the northwest Highlands. The beavers were relocated under licence from agricultural land in Tayside to an area where their natural behaviours are expected to positively benefit the landscape and biodiversity. Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), which manages the 17,604-hectare NNR, has been working in partnership with Trees for Life on the initiative since 2022, supported by Beaver Trust. The project has included three phases of extensive consultations with local communities and land managers. FLS North Region Manager, Alex Mcleod, said: “Beavers being translocated to Glen Affric is the culmination of a long, exacting and thorough process for FLS and Trees for Life. Fully engaging with the local Affric communities,
