Phase 2 is a skills development area above the Highland Wildcat carpark at the west end of Dunrobin Wood. This will include examples of features to be found on the trail network, graded from blue to black, and some North Shore (raised wooden trail normally used to traverse wet & boggy ground). Being close to the carpark it will be designed with inexperienced and novice users in mind.

Access to Phases 2 & 3 will be via Picts Path (which is already in place) named after the Pictish Broch located within the area. Phase 3 is a family orientated cross country trail of 8-10 km in length that passes through mixed coniferous and broadleaved woodland. This area includes the Designed Landscape associated with Dunrobin Castle and some fine views can be had over the Castle grounds to the Dornoch Firth. Cyclists can continue to Brora via a community link to be constructed or the coastal path which is included in Phase 4. With Phases 1-4 in place the area will be a national destination for mountain biking; justifying long weekends and holidays focussed around East Sutherland.

Phase 5 is a more ambitious plan to develop an epic contour trail around Dunrobin Glen, linking the Ben Bhraggie Wood and Dunrobin Wood trails. This would ensure that Highland Wildcat, Golspie, is of a scale sufficient to hold large mountain bike events and attract visitors from Europe and beyond.
