Loch Lomond is beautiful, but being the largest body of fresh water in the UK, it gets more visitors per annum than Alton Towers! So, for me anyway, its as wild as camping in Morrisons car park :lol . Not that you can't have fun there though... Loch Long has a great biking road running along side it, but again, its not exactly wild. And Pitlochry is a town. If you are after a truly "wild" experience, and by that I mean you will not talk to anyone for days, the Cairngorms is a good shout, as is the stretch between Fort William And the Isle of Skye. The further north you go from there, the more remote it gets. I toured Scotland on my 125 in 09'. I went all around the coast. Cape Wrath is stunning, but traveling there is going to be measured in days from your location. If you are after something a bit closer, try the brig-o-turk (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=&q=bri...KIBELYDMA4). There are wee loches dotted around it, and if you go off the road onto the track, and keep going, you will find yourself lost in the wilderness. Dumfries and Galloway forest park is another one pretty close to the boarder. No mountains though, but the best views of the night sky in the UK.
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
