West Highland Way
  
  
West Highland Way  
 

The West Highland Way was the first long distance footpath to be established in Scotland.  The Way begins in Milngavie near Glasgow and after 95 miles of outstanding scenery, finishes in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.  The Way is also well connected with the Great Glen Way, which Mickledore also offers to walkers, who want to walk all the way from Milngavie to Inverness.

The West Highland Way threads through Scotland’s history, following in the footsteps of drovers, pilgrims, soldiers, clansmen and cattle-rushers. Some of the walking is straightforward and some of it involves scrambling.  It is important to note that some areas can be very exposed and must be taken seriously, as the weather in Scotland is very unpredictable.

We have a range of holidays along the Way from our full 6, 7, 8 or 9 day option, to our shorter 3 day options. Make your choice depending on your available time and the pace you find most comfortable. Click on the links below to have a look at the details for each holiday.

  How  Difficult?

The Way despite being very well way marked and regularly completed by thousands of ordinary people, is regarded a challenging way. It starts in the lowlands and travels over mountainous sections. Walking fitness, the right equipment and the ability to navigate are all essential for this walk as bad weather can be encountered very quickly, even in the summer months.
