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).

Honest insights from past guests on our 8-Day Scotland tours
Anonymous | Traveled in July
The tour covers a lot of Scotland and provides a great overview of the country. If you want to spend a lot of time in one or 2 places, this is not the tour for you. Hard to pin down 1 favorite experience but the sheepdog demonstration on the sheep farm was amazing.

Wonderful more inside view of Scotland, especially in the Highlands.

The Collette Discover Scotland tour met and exceeded its title. The 9 days were packed with variety, information, comeradery, and beauty. Amber (the tour leader) provided the exact amount of direction and made us feel a part of the Scotland spirit and history. Starting at Glasgow, we made a look all the way up the west to Orkney Island it the North and back to Edinburgh on the southeast. Each stop and activity contributed a piece of the entire puzzle and gave each of us a chance to make the trip personal. The practicality of Glasgow, beauty of Isle of Skye, majesty of the Highlands, adventure of Skara Brae, the Standing stones, the solemnity of Culloden, the excitement of Inverness, and the ethos of Edinburgh built a wonderful kaleidoscope of emotion, sound, and spirit. The lodgings also provided a variety of historic grandeur, practical necessity, and modern convenience. One of my personal best moment was roaming the mist during the early morning at Loch Linnhe ... but there were many other unforgettable and cherished times.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The sited we saw were incredible and Daz was amazing at adapting for the day's conditions and any little add on we could achieve. We had an awesome group of people, a top tour guide and the BEST time. I would recommend this tour to everybody. A great way to see the UK.

The Country Roads of Scotland is a beautiful tour, but our tour guide ruined it. I made known the fact that I was interested in Wick due to Heritage and found my Great Grandfather's house and wanted to walk there and also visit the Heritage Museum. He cut official stops, like Wick, to 45 minutes, but gave us two hours in a place that was not an official part of the tour. He played his music constantly -- either that or movies and videos at 8:00 a.m. Who does this? Only a narcissistic personality. He talked about himself more than anything. We rarely heard what we were driving through nor the arrival times of the official itinerary. There was too much time on the coach. I would never travel with Insight again.
