Southern Uplands Sportif

Post by Arthur »

Where is the highest road in Scotland?

Bealach na Ba? Cairnwell Pass? No.

The highest road in Scotland is less than an hour north of Carlisle or the
same south of Glasgow.

Just 6 miles off the M74 it climbs to 725m above Wanlockhead - the highest
village in Scotland.

On Sunday 13th July the summit of this road will host the 'mountain top'
finish of the Southern Uplands Sportive.

105 miles, 2000m of climbing, 'mountain top' finish at 725m outside a radar
station, entry limited to 250 for debut year, exclusive access to a closed
private road.
