Overview

The West Highland Way remains Scotland's most popular long distance walk. It starts just outside Glasgow, passing over the lowlands and then travels along the shores of Loch Lomond, through the Western Highlands to finish in Fort William at the base of Ben Nevis. The route passes through a wide variety of differing landscapes, from the moors of the lowlands, through dense woods of ancient Caledonian pine forests on rolling hills, and onto the high mountains, all the while ensuring visitors are never far from the water, be it the sea lochs, freshwater lochs, fast flowing rivers, or small streams. Length of path 152km/95miles.
