The West Highland Way

West Highland Way near Carbeth

Seven days of walking this superb long distance trail. The West Highland Way is 152km (95 miles) long. The walk links Milngavie to Fort William from the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, to the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. Following the shores of Loch Lomond, its largest freshwater loch. The route passes Ben Lomond, Scotland's most southerly Munro, from the lowlands, across the Highland Boundary Fault, and on into the Scottish Highlands.

Much of the Way follows ancient and historic routes of communication, and makes use of military roads built by troops to help control the Jacobite Clans, and the drove roads along which Highlanders herded their cattle and sheep to market in the lowlands. You also make use of the old coaching roads and disused railway lines from the more recent past.
