I've a goretex bivvy bag (ex army I think) which I've used at 3000ft on the south Clunie Ridge
Admittedly in June but it was fine. Not sure about using one when cycling though - if you were tired, wet and cold I think a bothy or tent would be preferable.
Talking of which, you were asking about bivvy/lightweight camping routes.........Sligachan Glen
Also a bothy at the beach Jensons have some good prices on Camelbak rucksacks

A hooped bivi like the one above might be ok, mine's just a sleeping bag cover really.

This is the Gelert one

the coleman cobra on that site is only 2kg and a 2 man... http://www.campmania.co.uk/Item-1-14-ca ... bra_2.aspx
I was looking at a force ten vitesse - only 1300g and still 2 man,
http://www.sportswarehouse.co.uk/produc ... -Tent.html
the only thing that puts me off is it is single skinned, I do like a fly and inner as I sweat a lot.
Personally I wouldn't buy a tent with a hydrostatic head of less than 3000mm for use in scotland, although at £25 that gelert is swaying me.

Or this one

I guess I'm just surprised how many are available relatively cheap when I was buying kit years ago a tent like that would have been £300+.
