Discover the spectacular landscape of Scotland’s western highlands on the West Highland Way. Towering mountains, tranquil lochs and rushing rivers combine to reward you with a unique and ever changing landscape as you journey 95 miles from Milngavie (Glasgow) to Fort William. Best described as Scotland’s finest long distance walk, the trail is well waymarked and offers a thoroughly rewarding walking adventure.
After leaving Milngavie, the trail almost immediately has that wonderful countryside feel passing through Mugdock Country Park on route to the small village of Drymen. Glengoyne Distillery is another very worthwhile attraction on this section. Thereafter we reach Loch Lomond via Conic Hill which gives a splendid panorama of the great fault in particular. Next you travel through the wonderful Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park towards Crianlarich. Tyndrum, Bridge of Orchy and Loch Tulla are all passed on the way to the Kings House Hotel which lies on the remote Rannoch Moor. The mountains all around you are simply stunning and our walk continues onto Kinlochleven via the “Devil’s Staircase”, before finally reaching Fort William, a bustling town situated at the head of Loch Linnhe.
