Description
The Fire Tower mountain bike trails are in Lochgilphead in West Argyll in Scotland. There is a bit of a mix for everyone with a selection of red and black sections. The singletrack is narrow and flowing, there is a lot of rock, berms jumps, and drops and the descents are tough in the same way the downs are super rewarding.
