SCOTLAND

                                                          The West Highland-way

Tips: Thousands of walkers, endless information on the internet…..it must be the exceptional beauty of the Way. We started our route at Crianlarich , leaving behind Milngavy (Glasgow) and Loch Lomond. There is a train connection between Glasgow and Fort William, the end of the West Highland-way. So, in fact you can start everywhere, the train follows the route. A well way-marked trail.

Maps: The Official Route Map HMSO 1:50.000, to buy in all bigger cities in Europe (we think) , including a book. The Way links Milngavy to Fort William ( 152 kilometers).

A flight to Glasgow and the trains to Crianlarich.
