The West Highland Way 1997

The West Highland Way 1997

This entry is part 1 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

In the last week of April 1997 I went on a short trip to Scotland, to finally walk the West Highland Way. This long distance path stretches about 154 km (96 miles) from a small place called Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow, all the way up North into the Scottish Highlands to Fort William […]

This entry is part 2 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

Day 1 and day 2: Milngavie to Balmaha (32 km), and on to Craig Royston (17 km). After my arrival at Glasgow airport I decided to spend the first two nights in a B&B in Balmaha at the southern shore of Loch Lomond. After the first night in the B&B the kind landlady gave me […]

The West Highland Way 1997 (day 3)

This entry is part 3 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

Day 3: Craig Royston to Inverarnan (16 km). Leaving Ben Lomond behind, on this part of the route the path never diverts far from Loch Lomond, giving many superb views onto the lake and the mountain scenery. In fact one mostly walks directly at the shore with some minor climbs up and down when it […]

The West Highland Way 1997 (day 4)

This entry is part 4 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

Day 4: Inverarnan to Tyndrum (19 km). This morning I got up very early, just to find not a single cloud in the sky! This would only slowly change in the afternoon when it got quite cloudy – but without any rain. Walking was quite easy, with only minor climbs. The first stretch of the […]

The West Highland Way 1997 (day 5)

This entry is part 5 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

Day 5: Tyndrum to Inveroran (15 km). Again a day on old military roads, and hence easy to walk. Between Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy the path follows more or less the West Highland Railway, which together with the two prominent peaks of Beinn Odhar and Beinn Dorain defines the scenery. To me, at Bridge […]

The West Highland Way 1997 (day 6 + 7)

This entry is part 6 of 7 in the series The West Highland Way 1997. 

Day 6 and day 7: Inveroran to Kingshouse (16 km), and on to Kinlochleven (14 km). This day is all about crossing Rannoch Moor, one of the vastest and wildest moors in Britain. I was told with poor sight this would be one of the dullest parts of the West Highland Way, but I was […]
