Publisher's Synopsis
Opened in 1980, the West Highland Way was Scotland's first Long Distance Route and remains the most popular, with thousands of walkers tackling it each year. It runs from Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William. The 152km route passes along the east of Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of fresh water in Britain, and across Rannoch Moor, Scotland's grandest wilderness, through some of the finest scenery of mountain and stream, woodland and moorland that Scotland has to show. This eighth edition of the "Official Guide" has been fully revised and updated to include the latest information about the route and is accompanied by a full-colour map especially prepared for this edition. The royalty payable by Mercat Press to Scottish Natural Heritage from the sale of each copy of this Guide will be used directly to repair and maintain the path which forms the West Highland Way route.
