The West Highland Way is an iconic long-distance trail that explores some of Scotland’s most enchanting landscapes, taking you from the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
Across 96 miles (154 km), the trail takes you alongside tranquil lochs and crystal-clear rivers, into ancient woodland, through serene glens, beneath awe-inspiring mountains and deep into remote moorland. It is a land rich with wildlife, including golden eagles, peregrine falcons, wild goats, and red deer.
