A walking holiday along the iconic long-distance route between Milngavie and Fort William.
From £505 per person
Walk 95 miles along the West Highland Way, clambering through the epic countryside of the Scottish Highlands to views over jagged mountains and glittering lochs. Although the trail begins in wooded lowlands and along pebbled lochsides, it soon rises past dramatic cascades and over windswept moorland onto rugged mountainsides.
With mighty peaks as a constant staggering backdrop, the West Highland Way clambers ascents such as the Devil’s Staircase to win breath-taking views across the Scottish Highlands. This is a gorgeous and immersive route, supported by the villages dotted along its length that provide warm, cosy places to rest up. It’s also the most popular trail in Scotland, so make sure to book your holiday early as the West Highland Way fills up quickly!
