The West Highland Way is a historic trail linking the Scottish lowlands and highlands. This eight day self-guided trek takes you from the outskirts of Glasgow, along the shores of Loch Lomond to Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis. The days are varied with interesting walks through lowland fields, glacier carved glens, alongside lochs and heather covered mountains. You pass through forests of beech, oak and ancient Scots pine. The trail is well sign-posted and relatively easy to follow.

Daily baggage transfers are included so you can enjoy the walk carrying only a light daypack. We meet you at Glasgow Airport or Rail Station and transport you to your first night's accommodation in Glasgow. The next day we take you to the start of the trek, giving you a relaxing start with no travel complications.
Accommodation is in Hotels, Guesthouses & B&B's, with private bathrooms wherever possible. You can enjoy the privacy of your room or the company and atmosphere in the hotel bars after an enjoyable day's trekking. This is a popular route and we use the best available accommodation. It is essential to book well in advance, particularly for May and June.
