Kirroughtree Overview

Kirroughtree, home to some of the best technical singletrack in the country.

Winner of the MBR Trail of the Year in 2010, Kirroughtree is also a favourite family venue with a wide range of trails, seasonal café and a great children’s play area.

The Trails

Close to the Kirroughtree Visitor Centre sites the skills area, perfect for warm ups and helping you decide which grade of trail is correct for your ability.

 

Kirroughtree spoils you for choice and you can make several selections from the wide range of trails available which include:

The green-graded Bargaly Wood

Offering a relaxed ride taking you around the scenic Bargalt Glen.

For something more challenging try the blue-graded Taster Loop.

The blue-graded Larg Hill

Is great if you are looking for something with a bit of added excitement. This route also has the option of adding the Doon Hill extension, offering some great veiws.

The red-graded Twister

Is technically testing and more demanding on the rider than the other routes at Kirroughtree.

The black-graded Black Craig's

Is not for the nervous and requires skill to negotiate the highlights such as, McMoab's huge slabs and riges of exposed granite.
