In honor of National Tartan Day (April 6), celebrating Americans of Scottish decent, Ciclismo Classico is offering a $200 discount per person on their “maiden voyages” of the new Bike Across Scotland package. What better way to see Scotland’s breathtaking scenery than riding along its beautiful seaside coasts and lochs, through its verdant hills, dramatic munroes and beaucolic villages? There are two options for eight-day rides, departing on June 18 or August 6, from Inverness in the Highlands and covers 250 miles before ending in the coastal village of Gairloch.

This sizable discount is ONLY available for bookings made during Scotland Week 2011, which runs from April 3-10.

*Eight-days of cycling June 18-25, 2011 or August 6-13

*Accommodations at three- and four-star country inns
