These are the best cycling travel books about Scotland that I have come across. They are a great choice to get you inspired to cycle in Scotland.

Mike Carter gives up his day job in London to cycle around the coast of Britain on an epic 5000 mile journey. This is one of the best cycle travel books that I have read. It paints a vivid portrait of Britain, not just the magnificent scenery, but also of the people. Carter has a knack of bumping into some incredible characters who are happy to share their stories. The trip feels like a great adventure, it makes you want to get on your bike and the author's enthusiasm for the joy of cycling and exploring the country is infectious.

Anna Hughes sets off on a 72-day, 4000 mile cycle around the coast of Britain. The journey is full of adventure, magnificent landscapes and the kindness of strangers who provide accommodation for Anna during her trip. The title of the book perfectly sums up the focus of this journey, the daily task of pedaling, eating, sleeping and then doing it all the next day. ​

This book is about a cycling journey from Orkney to the border with England. It focuses on the history and landscapes of the places that the author passes through, carried along by his sense of humour. Much of the dialogue in the book is between the author, Mike Carden, and his bike, "Scott", but there are also interactions with locals. The book is very easy to read and full of interesting facts about Scotland.
