Jim Sutherland


Jim Sutherland has been guiding in the Scottish Highlands for a great many years, and has a love of the hills that can only be born out of a lifetime of learning and getting to know them intimately.

A regular contributor to various guides and publications, Jim began to use his knowledge of the northwest hills to guide mountain bikers on some of the most revered and wild routes the UK has to offer.

Spreading his own infectious way of enticing you into longer distance routes you hadn't even considered, Jim brings his many years hill experience and puts the 'wild' back into mountain biking. Jim lives in The Cairngorms National Park with his family, where he runs his own mountain guiding business ‘nineonesix’.
