78 miles / 125 kilometers
links to the West Highland Way trail.
Route type/direction
Linear, from Fort William to Inverness. The recommended direction is from south-west to north-east so that prevailing winds are behind you. This also makes for a gentle introduction, with the first couple of sections low-level and easy going, mainly on towpath.
Overview
The Way begins at the ruins of the Old Fort, Fort William and runs the entire length of Scotland’s longest glen, following the Caledonian Canal, forest tracks and drove roads. It passes beside three major lochs: Lochs Lochy, Oich and Ness. There is good access to accommodation and shops as it passes through villages along the Great Glen, with an alternative option that includes Invergarry. The route ends at Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, at Inverness Castle.
