Highlands Motorcycle Tour Based in Inverness

Your Scotland motorcycle tour begins at the Amsterdam (IJmuiden) ferry port: boarding in the afternoon, an overnight crossing, and arrival in Newcastle the next morning. From there your Highlands motorcycle tour continues via Alnwick Castle and Northumberland to Edinburgh. The Scottish capital, with its castle towering above the city, is the first stop on your on-road Scotland motorcycle tour. From there you continue via Perth and Cairngorms National Park to Inverness, your fixed base for four nights in the Highlands, before the return journey to the ferry begins.

This motorcycle tour is ridden entirely on your own bike, including transport on the Amsterdam–Newcastle ferry. You save on rental costs and explore Scotland on a machine you already know well, feeling at home on two wheels.

Amsterdam–Newcastle Ferry

The Amsterdam–Newcastle ferry carries you and your motorcycle comfortably to Great Britain: an overnight crossing with arrival the next morning right at the start of your Scotland round trip, with no long ride overland.

Fixed Base in Inverness
