Still chewing on this cud! When I spoke to Riv they recommended the Appaloosa too, however isn't that more touring orientated (per Riv's own website)? Forgive the stock photos but these are the actual trails I will be riding in addition to the A roads thru farm tracks.<xcampervan-scotland-306.jpg>

But to quote their own website "Appaloosa - Road touring bike with long, stable geometry"

FOR ALL ROADS— paved, dirt, or gravel; and the kinds of fire trails a Conestoga wagon could negotiate, but not the kind that would require a jackass. If you're skilled and have good judgement and fattish knobby tires, you can ride the SAM where you shouldn't. Stick with what it's designed for: all the above, and ROAD TOURING, ROAD SHOPPING, and ROAD COMMUTING.
The Sam is a versatile road and light trail bike."

New to this group, I actually currently own & ride a Grant Peterson bike already (Bridgestone MB-1) plus a CIOCC road bike but am interested in something more dual purpose. The area the bike will be used primarily is the West Coast of Scotland = narrow, rutted B & C-roads, fast A-Roads & graded dirt tracks with lots of rain & wind thrown in for good measure. I like to ride as "spirited" as my late-50s legs will allow, am most comfortable on the hoods & I may eventually do some minimalist bikepacking overnights.From looking at the Rivendell range it would seem that the Sam Hillborne or Homer Hilsen would be a good fit, however the Riv folks also recommended the Appaloosa.I'd love to hear some opinions on this from the folks that own them & thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
