My friends and i did the west highland way in 2008. It didnt rain once!! we met so many fantastic people along the way. A group of scots were doing the walk (10th year in a row) and said the weather had never been so good. Aussie Luck. We set out to carry our own gear but after the first... More

Witness and see for yourself the pride and passion of Scotland, a country with a wealth of natural beauty and that is steeped in history and tradition, for an adventure you will never forget! Scotland, or Alba as we would refer to it in our native tongue of Gaelic, occupies the northern third of the United kingdom of Great Britain... More

During the last week in May, the WHW was a bit of a procession. Much of the scenery was pretty spectacular (though not a patch on the Shieldaig area and on the Isle of Skye a week later). However, some of the pubs/inns on the WHW are surely taking the proverbial Michael. The Drovers with it's sheltered accommodation style bungalows... More

Helped by the good weather of course. Did this in late May 2013 over five days. If I was doing it again I'd take 6/7 days as we were out a long time each day with not much recouperation time. Day 1 - Milngavie to Balmaha. Stayed in Balmaha Bunkhouse and ate in nearby Oaktree Inn. Both excellent. Bunkhouse provided... More

Walked the WHW in may with my eight year old son. We did it over 8 days, we carried all our own gear and stayed at inns along the way. This is probably my twentieth plus visit to the highlands hiking and the scenery on this walk was OK - there much nicer parts of Scotland. The walk itself however... More

We enjoy long distance walks and have completed several in England, New Zealand and Australia over the previous six years. This is by far the most strenuous particularly around Loch Lomond. We booked through Macs Adventures who booked our accommodation and arranged for the transfer of our luggage. The accommodation was great, particularly the remote hotels like Bridge of Orchy... More

A very nice way to explore Scotland. You encounter very different Scottish sceneries. People loving the outdoors and still like to have some civilisation close by: go for it. We walked 6 days, practised a little before we went, and had no problems completing it. We did it in May and had no problems with midges. People along the road... More

My wife and i did the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Fort William in April of this year, what a fantastic experience for both of us. i am by no means fit but even i managed it over the 7 day period which we choose, this i felt was a good time frame to do the way as you... More

What an amazing experience, walked the way in 7 days. We were lucky to have amazing weather. Although fit, both of us were not walkers. We managed fine. I would say one of the most important things to do is make sure your feet are well looked after. Wear proper boots and socks. We also had our bags taken on... More
