The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular long-distance walking trail, possibly because it runs through some of the most iconic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. The route is 96 miles long and runs from Milngavie to Fort William. On the way, you will walk through moorland, mountain passes, glens, and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Scotland.
The route is traditionally divided into 7 stages but you can arrange it depending on your fitness level and experience. This 12-day (10 stages) hike is an easy hike designed for any fitness level. We have rearranged the West Highland Way in 10 stages with an average walking time of 4 hours per day except on the last day, where the stretch from Kinlochleven to Fort William takes approximately 8 hours. This trek is designed for those novel trekkers who are not used to walking for that long but want to get to know the Scottish highlands through a trekking adventure. This tour also includes accommodation in Milngavie before the trek and in Fort William after you complete the WHW. We will take care of all the accommodation arrangements so you only have to worry about enjoying the trek!
