The West Highland Way: Milngavie to Fort William Scottish Long Distance Route (Includes separate 1:25K OS map booklet): 0 (UK Long-Distance Trails)

Guidebook to walking the West Highland Way National Trail, a 96 mile Scottish Great Trail route from Milngavie near Glasgow to Fort William, passing Loch Lomond and crossing Rannoch Moor. Suggested itineraries over 6 to 9 days. Includes accommodation guide and pull-out 1:25K OS map booklet. Seasons May-June and September-October avoid the worst of the midges, but suitably experienced backpackers can do this walk at any time of year. Centres The walk traditionally starts in Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow (accessible by rail), and concludes at Fort William (likewise). There are few towns or villages en route where supplies can be had: Drymen, Crianlarich, Tyndrum and Kinlochleven. Difficulty The walking is not difficult for anyone accustomed to regular walks longer than 10 miles, although there is ample scope to shorten almost all of the days, and to offload the pack carrying onto an independent service that will transport your baggage for you.
