Lomond Walking Holidays - Guided Hiking Holidays, Scotland

West Highland Way

(Grade 2 ; 95 miles)

Departs Stirling station 9am. Returns to Stirling station 12.00pm

This classic walk passes through some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery including the ancient Oak woods of Loch Lomond, now part of Scotland’s first National Park. After wandering along the shores of the largest Loch, you pass into the mountainous heartland of Scotland with the undulating path skirting hillsides, flirting with tumbling burns and crossing spectacular mountain passes.

The historic military road across the bleak and desolate Rannoch Moor is another highlight whilst the Devils’ Staircase pass at the entrance to Glencoe offers some fine mountain views including the first glimpse of Ben Nevis. Finishing in Fort William at the foot of the mighty Ben (4406ft 1344m) you will have completed what many regard as the finest long distance walk in Britain and also the most popular.

This walk is also our most popular package and at peak times is booked many months in advance so remember to book early to avoid disappointment. The package is all inclusive of 7 days guided walking and 7 nights accommodation with our ever popular eat as much as you want packed lunches (I think the record was 30 Mars bars last year in a week!). Our dedicated mini-bus backup allows participants to opt out of some stages (or half stages) if they need to but 95% of Walkers complete the journey.

The walk is broken into 7 manageable stages ranging from 10 - 16 miles (note the 16 mile day is on the easy ground of the old military road).

Day 1: Milngavie to Drymen (14 miles)

Day 2: Drymen to Rowardennan (14 miles)
