Walk through the stunning Scottish Highlands from Loch Lomond to Ben Nevis on this iconic route. If you wish to walk the full West Highland Way from Milngavie please refer to our 10 Day itinerary. This tour follows most of the 92-mile national long distance trail of the same name through the southwestern part of the Scottish Highlands. It is claimed by some to be the most popular long distance trail in the British Isles. Starting at the village of Drymen just outside Glasgow, it includes Loch Lomond, valley routes through the mountains round Crianlarich and open heather moorland across the Rannoch Moor wilderness area. It passes close to somber Glencoe, famed for its massacre of the MacDonald Clan, and finishes at Fort William near the foot of Ben Nevis (Britain's highest peak, which can be readily ascended by experienced clients if they choose to spend an extra day). The West Highland Way is a well-established and popular route, containing some landscapes of great beauty. The altitude range is from sea level to 1850 ft (4408 ft if Ben Nevis is climbed).

Along the route you will also encounter the forts and castles scattered along the way that lay witness to Scotland's turbulent past, from the Iron Age to the Jacobite Rebellion led by Bonnie Prince Charlie who was finally defeated at the Battle of Culloden.

Scotland Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our 8-Day Scotland tours
Anonymous | Traveled in May
Yes, lots of country to see and we enjoyed all of it. Went to a lot of places we did not even know about. One of my favorites was meeting a gentleman who uses sheep dogs to wrangle the sheep. Amazing to watch & listen how he gives commands and the dogs are very fast to follow all commands.
Jan Wh | Traveled in May
An excellent , fun time. The scenery was superb and the pace of the trip was perfect. Could have been longer! The accommodation was great. Our tour leader was exceptional. The driver was very good.
Yekaterina E | Traveled in May
It is a great tour that helps US or Canada residents to either better understand North American life as lots of it came from Scotland, Ireland and England or to learn the roots of their ancestors.
Anonymous | Traveled in May
The walk and barge Scotland was fantastic. One needs to be in quite good physical shape as the hills could be a challenge. You definitely need good comfortable hiking boots as some trails were rocky.
Wendy | Traveled in July
This trip gives a wonderful balance between walking, watching wild life and learning about the archaeology and history of the area. The Kirkwall hotel has a few quirks but is very convenient for shops, the cathedral, museum and with only a short stroll to the harbour front. Our guides, Marco and Ritchie, organised our large group superbly well, their passion for the islands making this trip truly memorable. Home now, I really miss the wide open spaces of the Orkneys and the company of our tour members!
