I was brought up on Coulin estate, from 4 years old until almost 20 when I had to leave. The little hut you stopped at has always been called "The Teahouse". A stopping off point when we worked ponies into the hills during deer stalking time. The little burn in front of the hut is the Easan Dorcha, my brother and I fished American Brook Trout there as boys. Great memories. Thanks for the upload.😊

Great video and great route, but the HT550 very much isn't a gravel bike route 😂

[@deviatecycles]

Thanks! The HT550 is certainly in a category of it's own

Luv Torridon...and no one shows it off better than you Andrew...congrats to you and Louise exellent days riding 👍
I can't believe that Visit Scotland haven't employed your services to promote mtbing in Scotland ...long may you continue to showcase it 😊

We couldn't agree more, both Andrew and Louise have done an amazing job with this episode. What an unreal trail!

[@seanwgg]

That trail has been on my bucket list for years. Also, the HT550 is not a gravel race, it is very much a mtb race despite the amount of gravel on the route. Most riders are riding hard tail mtb and more than a few are on full sus

It's a tough call as such a mix of terrain! instagram.com/headinthesky_mtb/ rode the whole thing on her Highlander II so very doable but would suggest it's down to personal preference!
