The West Highland Way is 152km (95 miles) long. The walk links Milnegavie to Fort William - from the outskirts of Scotland's largest city to the foot of its highest mountain, following the shores of the largest freshwater loch.

It passes from the lowlands, across the Highland boundary Fault and on into the Scottish Highlands. Much of the Way follows ancient and historic routes of communication, and makes use of Military roads built by troops to help control the Jacobite Clans, the drove roads along which highlanders herded their cattle and sheep to market in the lowlands.

Old coaching roads and disused railway lines from the more recent past. For full details please visit the official West Highland Way website.
