View source for 2015 West Highland Way

This is not a race report, but a pictorial guide to the West Highland Way, the 96 mile long distance footpath in Scotland. The photographs are intended to give you a sense of what the West Highland Way is actually like, so this is not just a few images of pretty views. Instead I've taken many pictures of the trail itself. If you'd like more information on any of the images, just ask.

You can go up Ben Lomond from Rowardennan, but it's quite a long hike and you may need an extra day for it.

The Way has been extended so that you now have to walk through the commercial center of Fort William. It adds some extra distance, but is rather jarring after being in the wilderness for so long. The new end is rather nice as there are benches to sit and wait for you fellow travelers in good weather.
