In 2001, the 7stanes mountain biking project began to extend the success of Glentress Forest across the whole of southern Scotland. The 7stanes mountain biking centres run from Glentrool near Newton Stewart in the west of Dumfries & Galloway through to Peebles in the Scottish Borders in the east. The 7stanes mountain biking project is now nearing the end of its second phase, with another £2 million being spent to provide more world class routes to suit all types of mountain biking and all skills levels. New biker facilities are also planned at venues such as Kirroughtree and Glentress to further enhance the world class reputation of the 7stanes mountain biking venues.
The 7stanes has already won numerous awards and have turned southern Scotland into a perfect mountain biking holiday destination. Indeed the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) now rate Scotland, including the 7 stanes mountain biking trails, as the 'Global Superstar', i.e. the best place in the world to ride!
