Discover Scotland on Two Wheels

Motorcycle Tours and Rentals

Why should you go on a Motorcycle Tour in Scotland?

Well, few things can match the thrill of exploring Scotland on a motorbike. Our guided tours are designed to show the best parts Scotland. The design of Scotland perfectly complements motorcycling. Listed below are some points that are the reasons why riders get so attracted to this country and its roads:

• Dramatic landscapes: From the Cairngorms to Glen Coe, every mile is a picture postcard.
• Twisting, open roads: Light traffic and smooth tarmac make it a rider’s paradise.
• Cultural gems: Castles, distilleries, and centuries-old villages await you.

The main purpose of constructing every carefully selected tour is to make a perfect balance between the scenic thrills and local charm. Riding with seasoned bikers who know these roads like the back of their hand and they will be guiding you, so you will be able to ride relaxed and confidently.

It is not about squeezing as many miles as possible into one day at McTours. What it mostly refers to is the discovery of the hidden roads, the viewpoint which overlooks the lochs, and the view which makes you pause and look. It does not make any difference if you stayed here for a week or just for the weekend, your trip will be made memorable.

For those not bringing their own bikes, we offer hire options. From our base in Glasgow, we provide a range of motorcycles not only for guided tours but also for general hire. Away from home, we work with select partners to ensure quality motorcycles are delivered to our tour customers.

Scottish Motorbike Hire

Not keen on a guided tour? That is not a problem at all. You may just hire an excellent motorbike and take off on your own! So, if you simply want to hire, we supply motorcycles allowing you can go wherever you want. It doesn’t matter if you are riding through the wild nature of the Highlands or gliding along the a coastal road, your every journey will be a reflection of your life. At McTours, we offer a range of motorbikes to suit most riders. Our rental fleet consists mainly of Triumph Adventure Styled with some Sport Tourers and a few naked classics.
