Laggan is one of my favourite trail centres as it is a great mix of challenge and fun. I love the mix of terrain and it certainly is a trail that requires a wide set of skills to nail.
Whilst there are lots of tricky sections it is also a trail that seems to encourage you to try a bit harder and ride to the edge of your comfort zone. More often than not it pays off and you feel dead chuffed. If it doesn't work it is so easy to get off and try the section again.
I have taken a number of red route virgins to Laggan and they have all loved it so recommend that you try it!

* Wide variety of obstacles and terrain

Fantastic trail centre with great red route and challenging black descent. From the scary Airs Rock to the fun flowy lower red to the lethally technical and frequently slippery rocky black trail Laggan is great fun. A long drive from Edinburgh but well worth it.
What do you like?
One of the most technical black routes in the UK
Fun and fast
Good facilities
Fun skills area
Hidden secret trails
What could be improved?
Upper red descent is largely good but some parts that should flow really don't and it can feel a bit pedally
Freeride trail has eroded so jumps don't really have any lip
