WEST HIGHLAND WAY
by Adventure Solos
OVERVIEW
The West Highland Way in Scotland is one of the world's top long-distance hiking trails. Join us for this week-long guided event, with stunning scenery, friendly locals and magnificent wildlife along the way.
The West Highland Way starts just outside Glasgow in Milngavie (pronounced 'Mull-guy'). Over the next 96 miles (154km) we're treated to hugely varied but always spectacular scenery including the tranquil Eastern shores of Loch Lomond, passing the iconic Buachaille Èite Mòr mountain in Glencoe and visiting gorgeous villages including Drymen, Crainlarich and Tyndrum. We'll arrive in Fort William with new friends, a few stories to tell and an enormous sense of pride and satisfaction. ​
