A modern re-imagination of the world’s first-ever pedal cycle invented by Dumfriesshire’s Kirkpatrick Macmillan is being created for a special event next month.

Led by Scottish cyclewear brand Endura, the ambitious project, called A Forgotten Legend, aims “to remind the world of the often forgotten fact that cycling – enjoyed as a sport or a mode of transport by over one billion people worldwide – was born in Scotland”.

On August 10, the newly-manufactured bike will travel from Thornhill to Glasgow following the route Macmillan famously rode almost two centuries ago in 1842.
