Along the way

 

Description:

This 8-stage 151 km walk has an overall difficulty grading of 2 (Slightly harder). The West Highland Way is the most iconic of them all. From Milngavie to Fort William this trail takes you through a landscape that is ever-changing and nearly always breathtaking. After having walked the length of Loch Lomond (quite tough!) you’ll cross the bleak beauty of Rannoch Moor and head into the Highlands and Glen Coe. For much of the way, you’ll be following ancient and historic routes along Drove Roads, 18th Century Military Roads and abandoned railway tracks. As the West Highland Way is very popular you will certainly meet fellow walkers but not to worry. There will be plenty of opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet.
