The optimal way to do it would be to start from one end or another, then find a B&B when you feel like stopping for the night, but that carries the risk of not finding a vacancy. You'd have more chance of finding vacancies en-route if you avoid bank holiday weekends or any special events up there which are likely to attract a lot of people. If you want to sacrifice flexibility for increased accommodation security, estimate how far you would like to walk in a day, and book several B&Bs at intervals along the route well before you want to start. You might consider booking more than one night at any B&B to gvie yourself a chance to do a bit of local exploration.
I'm thinking of booking them in advance but its hard to know which place is right considering I don't know the area at all...Is it safe to say that any B&B I book in advance in each village will be easy to get to off of great glen way?
Yes. The Great Glen has a major road running along it. Any B&B along the route will be accessible to motorists from that main road, so if you are walking you will have no problem. If you want the freedom to choose accommodation yourself, I would use Google to search for B&Bs along the route, for example in Laggan, Invergarry, Fort Augustus, Drumandrochit should have a few places. The alternative is to use a walking company that offers self guided walks and will book accommodation for you, which will be a bit more expensive but will relieve you of some organisation.
