An extended version of the 8 day walk with shorter days to discover the stunning Scottish Highlands from Loch Lomond to Ben Nevis. This tour follows the 96-mile West Highland Way national long-distance trail through the south-western part of the Scottish Highlands. It is claimed by some to be the most popular long distance trail in the British Isles and is known as Scotland's best loved long distance route. It is the perfect entry-level long distance hike.
This itinerary begins at the official start of the West Highland Way at the obelisk in Milngavie just outside Glasgow. Your walk will include Loch Lomond, valley routes through the mountains round Crianlarich and open heather moorland across the Rannoch Moor wilderness area. You will pass close to sombre Glencoe, famed for its massacre of the MacDonald Clan, and finishes at Fort William near the foot of Ben Nevis. This is Britain's highest peak, which can be readily ascended if you're an experienced walker and aks our team to arrange an extra night in Fort William.
On this itinerary, the long stretch between Ardlui and Inveroran is split over two days. You can also opt for our 8-day itinerary that covers the walk in just one day with the option to shorten the route with an included taxi transfer.
The West Highland Way is a well-established and popular hiking route in Scotland, containing some landscapes of great beauty. The altitude range is from sea level to 1850 ft (4408 ft if Ben Nevis is climbed).
10 days
Set foot on the stomping grounds of the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh, see the grand Georgian architecture of Glasgow and sail across the sea to the Isle of Skye—the most beautiful island of the Inner Hebrides. Enjoy a quieter pace of life on the tranquil Orkney islands as you explore the 1000-year-old Norse Town of Kirkwall and the mysterious Ring of Brodgar. In Wick, whet your whistle with a wee dram of whisky at the Old Pulteney Distillery or visit the fascinating Heritage Museum. After exploring the charming cobbled streets of St. Andrews, take afternoon tea at Blair Castle—the historic home of the Atholl family for over seven centuries.

Walk through the heart of the Scottish Highlands at your own pace. Opened in April 2002, this long distance walking trail travels right through the very heart of Scotland.

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 Sightseeing Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Sightseeing Scotland tours
James D. | Traveled in June
Awesome, the tour director and our driver were great.
Thomas J. | Traveled in June
Overall we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was absolutely wonderful and our driver was great. We saw so many places that we would never have seen if we’d been on our own and also learned facts we would never have gotten. Great time.
Katherine D. | Traveled in June
We saw so many wonderful places and made so many memories. The landscape, the architecture, the history, the people- just special. Our driver and tour guide was the best.
Anonymous | Traveled in June
We enjoyed the rural parts of Ireland and Scotland, but could have bypassed Dublin, Belfast, Waterford, and Edinburgh. The Be My Guest experiences were terrific, but on the tour in general, there were a variety of unnecessary stops at gift shops. There was not enough time at certain cultural stops to explore. The food was generally good, but the drinks that came with prepaid dinners were skimpy compared to what is served when you pay at the bar. The tour guide and driver were excellent and the community feel of being with the group made it special.
