The West Highland Way is Scotland's most popular long-distance walking trail, quite 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.

This 4-day tour is designed for those trekkers who don't have the time to complete the whole trek. The southern half of the West Highland Way starts in Milngavie and ends in Tyndrum, and covers the first 4 of the 8 stages of the WHW. On this trek, you will walk an average of 6 hours per day and you will spend the night in cozy and traditional hotels along the trail. The accommodation before and after the trek, in Milngavie and Tyndrum respectively, is also included.
