West Highland Way

West Highland Way Overview

Mickledore Travel's West Highland Way walking holiday is an exhilarating holiday in Scotland for keen walkers with a desire to see one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. This 95 mile trail was the first long distance footpath to be established in Scotland.

Mickledore Walking Holidays

The West Highland Way in the Mountains of Scotland

The route begins in Milngavie near Glasgow and after 95 miles of outstanding scenery, finishes in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. The West Highland Way connects with the Great Glen Way, which Mickledore also offers to walkers, who want to walk all the way from Milngavie to Inverness.

Some of the walking is straightforward and some of it involves scrambling. It is important to note that some areas can be very exposed and must be taken seriously, as the weather in Scotland is very unpredictable.

Why choose this walking holiday?

  • It is a tremendous route joining the Scottish lowlands with stunning Highland scenery.
  • You will walk along the “Bonnie Banks” of Loch Lomond with great views of the mountains.
  • The trail crosses the remote Wilderness of Rannoch Moor, with its unique landscape.
