Scottish Quads

We love Scotland, even perhaps especially in winter, when its dramatic scenery and miles of adventure are set off to their epic natural advantage. And of course, if you want the guarantee of UK winter snow, it’s the ultimate place to go without the cost, hassle and impact of heading abroad. So no longing looks back at the sofa, this week we’re getting fired up with an all-action winter activity that will warm you all over!

Scottish Quads, based just outside the beautiful Perthshire town of Pitlochry, are quad-biking trailblazers whose powerful but safe machines will guarantee the ride of your life! The driving force (literally) is well-named founder and MD Murray Trail, a Kiwi who was lured to Scotland by its incredible landscapes and potential for outdoor adventure. Having worked as a qualified adventure sports instructor all over the world, Murray combines his skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to guarantee you a memorable adventure.

Get On Your Quad and Ride

Scottish Quads do exactly what they say in the fender: it’s quads to the max for an exhilarating, throttle-maxing ride and outdoor adventure like no other. Their purpose-built quad bike trek course features steep and bumpy hill-climbs, deep rutted muddy trails, a tight technical forest trail, and all manner of other breath-holding and laughter-inducing features.

Putting quad bikes and riders to the ultimate test, on a full-on physical hour’s trek, you’re guaranteed to see the mud flying! These quads can roar up steep slopes, perform slicing turns, and really turn up the speed, all with the stability and comfort of four sturdy wheels beneath you. And don’t worry about the weather; winter brings the perfect condition for these muddy thrills. Warmly wrapped up and protected, rain and snow just means bring it on: the more mud = the more fun!

Fun for Everyone

A variety of one-hour feature trails and challenges means there’s an adventure to suit all abilities and skill levels (including zero!). Serious fun for groups of all sizes, each trek is tailored to suit attendees’ abilities. So whether you’re a group of friends looking for an adventurous day out, a family who want to try something new, a corporate team with a competitive streak, or stag and hen party taking last weekends of freedom to the max, each trip can be amped up or tamed down to ensure everyone has a fantastic quad bike experience.

With suitably-pitched challenges for all, including beginners or those feeling a little less confident, there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy, from quad bike first-timers to experienced riders. Fantastic customer feedback and return custom speaks for itself. From breathless Facebook videos to enthusiastic online reviews, ‘Can we go again?’ is the most common question asked by customers at the end of a Scottish Quads trek!

Safety First - Your Security

All treks are guided by fully qualified Quad Biking Instructors and start with a safety and familiarisation session. The minimum age for Scottish Quds is 12, with guidance that children should be big enough to operate brakes on an adult sized bicycle. Safety is always first, with sessions rescheduled to your convenience if adverse weather conditions make the trails too difficult or dangerous to traverse.

Now, remember you might get muddy- OK, no “might” about it! Scottish Quads recommend (and we endorse!), wearing old clothing and footwear. Seasoned enthusiasts can bring your own kit, including helmet, if you prefer. But none is needed- the team supply everything: CE approved helmets, gloves, eye protection, overalls, jackets, wellies, and will ensure you are fully, safely, and warmly kitted out!

Stunning Location

Scottish Quads are conveniently situated at the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre, on the beautiful, winding road that connects Pitlochry and Blair Atholl in Highland Perthshire. Sitting atop the stunning wooded gorge looking out over the River Garry, wipe the mud from your visor to enjoy stunning views across the Tummel valley from the course hilltop viewpoint.

It’s also a great jumping-off point for other outdoor activities including wildlife spotting, hiking, bungee jumping, white water rafting, canyoning, paintball and more. There’s also great food at the Visitor Centre Café for fuelling up before your next adventure!
