Cycling in Scotland
Scotland Cycle Journey Planner
Welcome to the Beta launch of the exciting Cycle Journey Planner for Scotland. This is a development of the one that's been running in Cambridge for two years.
The mapping is based on OpenStreetMap which is a relatively new idea where anyone can contribute. Many parts of Scotland, especially Edinburgh, are pretty well mapped but there are still bits missing - local paths, accurate street names etc. It also highlights the fact that any computer generated route planning system will produce anomalies or 'mistakes'.
YOU can improve this by adding to OpenStreetMap or giving direct feedback to the CycleStreets website's developers.
CycleStreets has been made possible because local non-profit cycling promotion business ChangingPace (2008) saw the potential of the work done in Cambridge and persuaded the Scottish Government's Sustainable Transport section to give a small grant (with the help of Cycling Scotland) to develop an Edinburgh version of Cambridge Cycling Campaign's cycle journey planner.
The work done so far, and the development of OpenStreetMap, means that eventually it will be possible to plan journeys almost anywhere.
One feature we hope that you will find useful - every time a route is planned it is given a unique URL (the link at the top of your browser, starting http:// ...). This can be used by you in future or sent to a friend who (for instance) is thinking of cycling to work but doesn't know the best route. It is also possible to view planned routes on mobile phones that have internet access.

There is no justification at all for a Cyclists Dismount sign here - but it's only National Cycle Network route 1, why would anyone care?
The route continues along the road. No need for the End of Route or Cyclists Dismount signs. Location: Broughty Ferry, Dundee (Scotland, United Kingdom)
