The Great North Trail, a mostly off-road running from the Peak District to Cape Wrath.

I didn't know it was possible to cycle over the Corrieyairack pass.

It's "off-road"

I used Googlemaps and ... it shows a Mountain Bike!

But there's no "Streetview" photos anywhere near.

The photos of the E-MTB show Gravel tracks so might well be okay though as
ever what’s claimed and what it’s like may differ!

I used to do a hill race from Ardachy to Garbha Bridge over the
Corrieyairick years ago when the road was in fairly good repair. I did
it as a training run fairly recently 2007 and the road was in very poor
condition -washed away after the zig-zags. Most of the rest was OK, but
you'd need decent suspension if you cycled it.
