GREAT GLEN WAY

The Great Glen Way stretches for 117km from coast to coast across the Highlands, linking the main centres of Fort William and Inverness. The route follows the major natural faultline across the Highlands, providing straightforward walking throughout. It offers a great introduction to the region and to long distance walking.The Way runs along the lengths of Loch Linnhe, Loch Oich and the forests above Loch Ness. It also follows many sections of the Caledonian Canal that link these three lochs and the two coasts, an engineering marvel built by Thomas Telford. It can be done as a continuation of the West Highland Way.
