The West Highland Way of Scotland
Season 71
The best way to see Scotland's bucolic countryside is on foot!
Savor Scotland's most popular long distance trail, the West Highland Way! This 96 mile trail starts in Glasgow and finishes in Scotland's adventure capital, Fort William. Kit even walked the Kelvin Way from Glasgow to the start of the trail in Milngavie.
Stay in medieval villages each night and walk the rambling countryside trail, often along Loch Lommond, during the day. It's magical AND doable for any fit person! Walking holidays allow for a more immersive experience plus they are often less expensive than traditional vacations.
Learn how to hike it, what to expect and how to plan your adventure.
