End of the West Highland Way (Fort William)

Highlight • Monument

The end of the West Highland Way (or the start, if you've decided walking to Glasgow is preferable). Signage, and a substantial tourist industry have built up around the Way, so there are plenty of ways to revel in your achievements.

Ben Nevis viewpoint

Highlight • Trail

At this point on the Cow Hill Trail, you can see the highest mountain on the island in clear weather. I was denied this opportunity.

End of the West Highland Way (Fort William)

Highlight • Settlement

Fort William is one of the adventure capitals of Scotland. It has the mighty Ben Nevis to thank for this status – Britain's highest mountain rises to the southeast in an impressive display of mountain bulk. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to the region to test their mettle against the Ben.

The town has many excellent places to eat and drink, as well as a huge range of accommodation choice. It also gives access to Glen Nevis, which is where many approaches to the Ben, as well as routes in the fantastic Mamores range, start.
