About The Scottish Off Road Driving Centre

The Scottish Off Road Driving Centre is based in Central Scotland, just 10 miles south of Perth and within 40 minutes of Edinburgh and one hour from Glasgow by car, just off the A91 St.Andrews road.

The Scottish Off Road Driving Centre provides all action off road "recreational" training in our specially adapted Land Rovers, either through Gift Vouchers or you can just phone up and book a time. We also run professional 4x4 training courses for the large utility companies.

The centre is now fifteen years old and as has grown considerably in that time, have a look at the pictures and you'll see what we mean. We teach all over Scotland in all sorts of vehicles at all sorts of events so whatever you want just give us a call. Telephone 01337 860 528

At the SORDC we have a driving range covering 500 acres on which we have a vast mixture of purpose built training obstacles together with good natural terrain to give the driver a thoroughly comprehensive 4x4 training experience. We have hair-raising descents and seemingly impossible ascents as well as plenty of very deep water that comes over the bonnet and lots and lots of very sticky mud.

We specialise in off road driving and pride ourselves on having a "real" 4x4 challenge on our hill, it is great fun and requires a fair amount of driver skill. You'll find it hard to stop your adrenaline taking over! The views from the off road course are absolutely stunning, from the top of "Hangmans Hill" we overlook the Howe of Fife and Loch Leven. The driving area is a natural wilderness so there is a wide variety of wildlife to see as well. We are fifteen minutes drive from Perth or Kinross, with the M90 only ten minutes away. The new Superfast Ferry Terminal at Rosyth is only 20 minutes drive.

We use a Land Rover Defender Twin Cab 110 TD5 to teach in which allows us to take up to four people plus the instructor at a time. The whole family can enjoy the fun or if you have been given a gift voucher you can bring along the person who gave it to you and some friends at no extra charge.

We believe in "hands on" teaching. When you arrive we depart straight onto the hill in a vehicle where you will be given a brief five minute demonstration on the basic driving techniques, after that all the driving is down to you. The instructor will start you off with a few manoeuvres to build up your confidence and improve your vehicle handling before gradually increasing the tempo and soon you'll be driving on our most challenging areas. We don't fill the day up with boring classroom lectures or long instructor demos, you do the driving and we'll do the talking!
