Great Glen Way

Great Glen Way

The Great Glen Way is a fascinating 73 mile walk through Scotland’s most famous Glen from Fort William to Inverness via Loch Ness. It is a wonderful relaxed walk where you walk through beautiful forests, peaceful working canals and magnificent brooding lochs.

Starting in Fort William near the base of Britain’s highest mountain, you follow the Caledonian canal via Neptune’s Staircase to Gairlochy for your first nights accommodation. You then continue on the trail up Loch Lochy to South Laggan, and onto Invermoriston via Loch Oich and the Kytra Lock. You now walk on the western shores of Loch Ness as you head up to Drumnadrochit. Cruises on Loch Ness can be taken from both Fort Augustus, Drumnadrochit and Inverness. Finally you continue walking northeast until reaching the historic town of Inverness for your last night’s accommodation.

Every holiday we offer features hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s, country inns, and guesthouses. Each is unique and offers the highest levels of welcome, atmosphere and outstanding local cuisine. We also include daily door to door baggage transfers, guidebook with a detailed map and pre-departure information pack as well as emergency support, should you need it.

Highlights:

  • The Great Glen Way offers some of the finest views of Britain’ s highest mountain, Ben Nevis
  • Discovering the Caledonian Canal with its very impressive series of locks
  • Visiting Urquhart Castle and its superb setting on Loch Ness
  • Exploring Loch Ness by both foot and boat and perhaps catching a glimpse of the famous Loch Ness Monster!

Is it for me?: The Great Glen Way is a beautiful walk along some of the most dramatic scenery in the country. The Great Glen was frequently used by Robert the Bruce to covertly travel North, so there is a rich history to the area to accompany its jaw dropping vistas.
