The famous West Highland Way walk is ninety-five miles (152 km) long, beginning at Milngavie, a few miles outside Glasgow, and ending at Fort William on Loch Linnhe. The walk follows the shore of Scotland's famous Loch Lomond, in the shadow of the equally famous mountain Ben Lomond, crosses the desolate Rannoch Moor, and ends at the foot of Ben Nevis. The best direction to walk the route is from south to north, from Milngavie to Fort William, finishing at Glen Nevis. The best months to go hiking or walking are April, May and June as the midges have not come out to bother the walkers!

The most popular option chosen by 80 percent of walkers is the seven day walk:

Alternative Options

You can also add this option to make an 8 day walk as shown below.

However, the option for the fitter walker is the popular 5 day walk:
