West Highland Way

September 2026

106 miles

Our latest long distance walk took us up to Scotland to tackle the West Highland Way, a 95-mile walk from Milngavie (just north of Glasgow) to Fort William. The first few days followed the shore of Loch Lomond, then we were up onto the wild and windy Ranoch Moor before dropping down to Fort William, with gloriousviews of Ben Nevis on the final day.

We again used Mickledore to book the holiday, taking advantage of their organising accommodation and baggage transfer along the route.

After the long train journey to Milngavie, we stayed overnight at the Premier Inn prior to starting our walk.
