Meet Your Guide

I’m Andrew, the rider behind McTrail Guide.

​

Since 2017, I’ve been running my mountain bike YouTube channel, McTrail Rider, sharing real trail experiences, route knowledge, and riding adventures from across Scotland.

​

What started as a way to document my own rides has become years of exploring Scotland’s trail network, discovering hidden gems, and helping riders know what to expect before they head out.

Riding with people of all abilities has taught me that great guiding isn’t just about knowing the trails. It’s about reading the group, matching the pace, building confidence, and creating an enjoyable day for everyone.

​

I’m a British Cycling Level 3 Trail Leader, with Outdoor First Aid, safeguarding, and the qualifications required to guide responsibly. Combined with over 20 years of mountain biking and extensive Highland trail knowledge, I bring experience, preparation, and local insight to every ride.

​

Whether you’re looking for flowing woodland singletrack, technical natural trails, or a full Highland adventure, my goal is simple:

To help you experience Scotland’s best riding in a way that’s safe, enjoyable, and genuinely memorable.
