Dunkeld, Scotland's Best Kept Enduro MTB Secret? 🤫 SPOT CHECK #2

If you're not from Scotland when you hear about Dunkeld you probably have either never heard of it or only think of the super gnarly downhill track. Over the last few years the trail riding scene has exploded and it's definitely a place to tick off on your riding list this Summer.
You'll find Dunkeld just 20 minutes north of Perth on the A9.

Shame a lot of the tracks aren't well kept all year round, hermitage and the mast hill are pretty sad looking these days

As all the trails are entirely built by locals in their spare time, who for obvious reasons have limited time for trail maintenance, the introduction of the Tayside Trail Association and the legitimisation of the trails, should hopefully lead to better trail upkeep. Until there is actually financial investment though from the government or local community it would be difficult to have everything well kept purely from volunteers.

@@christogTV totally reasonable. Nice to see something being done about it though

There 4 hills

Not great for the people living in the village though! with the pressure on parking etc.,

Surely the local authority should embrace, build a car park somewhere suitable and enjoy the benefits to the local economy? The overwhelming majority of the mtb community respect the environment and those living in the area. If handled properly, everyone can benefit.
