SCOTLAND: The West Highland Way - Glasgow to Fort William
Fri 26th Sep 2025
Walk
The second 7 day, 8 night, 154 km, daypack adventure walking the full length of the beautiful West Highland Way in Scotland from just outside of Glasgow to Fort William. This is a self guided walking tour with Macs Adventures where they will pre-book our accomodation in a variety of comfortable B&B’s and hotels, mostly in quaint little highland villages. Our luggage will be forwarded to the next overnight destination each day, so we will be walking with our day packs only. Expect some long days on well graded tracks with lots of breathtaking views from high hills and several mountain passes with some equally steep descents - distances will vary from 15 to 31 kms per day with a total elevation gain of just over 3000 metres. Lots of interesting side trips and things to visit each day.
Preceeding this walk, I am also leading a similar traverse of the Lake District in Cumbria after which we will have a couple of rest and sight-seeing days in Carlisle and Glasgow and then will will commence the West Highland Way walk from Glasgow on the 26th of September.
If you’re interested in booking a place, on this walk or both, let me know and I will reserve a place for you. There are only 10 places available on both walks. Cost of the walk is about $1600.00
