A walking holiday along the iconic long-distance route between Milngavie and Fort William.
From £516 per person
Walk 95 miles along the West Highland Way, clambering through the epic countryside of the Scottish Highlands to views over jagged mountains and glittering lochs. Although the trail begins in wooded lowlands and along pebbled lochsides, it soon rises past dramatic cascades and over windswept moorland onto rugged mountainsides.
With mighty peaks as a constant staggering backdrop, the West Highland Way clambers ascents such as the Devil’s Staircase to win breath-taking views across the Scottish Highlands. This is a gorgeous and immersive route, supported by the villages dotted along its length that provide warm, cosy places to rest up.
The West Highland Way is also the most popular trail in Scotland, so make sure to book your holiday early as accommodation fills up quickly!
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £571 per person
On old military and drovers’ roads, the north section of the West Highland Way departs Crianlarich and strikes into the mountainous heart of the Highlands. It tours over desolate Rannoch Moor, up through the Aonach Eagach mountains on the Devil’s Staircase, and through the Lairigmor pass to Glen Nevis and Fort William.
This shortened version of the West Highland Way is the perfect way to ensconce yourself in Scottish mountain scenery.
This route can be walked in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

“We have now returned from our Scotland walking tour very satisfied. Everything worked out perfectly from an organisational point of view, and we were completely satisfied with all hotels.”Mrs Dsirne, Germany
“Scotland's West Highland Way was wonderful. We did it North to South (half way) and thought that this way was preferable to the other more common one. Our lodging was great. Contours staff over and over and over again were so helpful in making this trip happen. Thank you for the help. Contours even gave me detailed help for trains to get from one area of Scotland to the starting area as well as from the ending city to another city. Being very unfamiliar with the train/bus systems in the UK, it is hard to figure out from afar. Again, thank you.”Mrs Woodward, USA
