On the West Highland Way national trail, a Scottish long-distance route of 95 miles from Milngavie near Glasgow to Fort William, passing by Loch Lomond and crossing Rannoch Moor.
Suggested itineraries over 6 to 9 days. Includes an accommodation guide and a detachable OS 1:25K map booklet. Seasons: May-June and September-October to avoid the worst midge attacks, but experienced walkers can do this walk at any time of year.
Centres: The walk traditionally starts at Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow (accessible by train), and ends at Fort William (likewise). There are a few towns or villages along the route where you can resupply: Drymen, Crianlarich, Tyndrum and Kinlochleven.
Difficulty: The walk is not difficult for someone accustomed to regular walks of over 10 miles, although it is largely possible to shorten almost every day and offload your rucksack onto an independent service that will carry your luggage for you.
Not to be missed: The West Highland Way embraces diversity, from the urbanity of Milngavie to days in the company of Loch Lomond, through the splendour of Rannoch Moor. The journey from Glencoe, under the gaze of Buachaille Etive Mòr, to the Devil's Staircase, then into the hidden valley of Lairig Mòr, are stages to be savoured.
