A walking holiday along the iconic long-distance route between Milngavie and Fort William.
From £505 per person
From its jagged mountains to its glittering lochs, the Scottish Highlands offer up truly epic countryside – and the West Highland Way clambers right through it. 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.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £745 per person
Walk the West Highland Way long-distance trail and traverse 95 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, taking in the very best scenery of the Scottish Highlands.
The most popular, oldest and most dramatic of Scotland's Great Trails, the West Highland Way clambers steep slopes and wends through utter wilderness between little pockets of warmth in remote, welcoming villages. Along the way, you'll encounter a selection of deep blue lochs, rugged mountains, tranquil woodlands and remote moors that provide unforgettable views throughout.
It's no surprise the West Highland Way is high on most walkers' to-do lists. Tackle the full route on our longer itineraries, with flexible options available to suit your personal pace, or scroll further to find our partial-route options.

“Thank you for all your arrangements - was a wonderful walk; busy, but not excessively, met interesting people and the scenery of course was spectacular. I had a permanent grin on my face! Have completed 9 trails now and the West Highland Way heads the list. The weather was kind, which always helps, but the mountains will tug, no, are already tugging me back. Great Glen Way as a 'starter' next April? As you may have surmised, I loved it!”Mrs Douglas, UK
