West Highland Way
From Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow, the Way winds its way northwards through some of Scotland’s finest scenery towards the Highland town of Fort William famous for Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. A truly fabulous walk. The trail is very well signposted, using many ancient drove and military roads as it winds its way along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, across the wild Rannoch Moor and into historical Glencoe, the heart of the Highlands. Experience breathtaking views from the top of the Devil’s staircase and enjoy your first glimpse of Ben Nevis as you descend into Fort William for the final stretch of your journey.

Gemini Walks Top Tip. How many days should I take to walk the West Highland Way? The best way to explain it is “if you don’t want to walk any more than 15 miles (24 km) in any one day then you have to take eight days to complete the walk. If you can cope with a stage of around 18.75 miles (29.75 km) then you can tackle the walk in seven days.
