Scotland's long distance routes provide superb opportunities to get out there on foot to discover and explore some of the best of Scotland's landscape and wildlife. The routes vary greatly in character, from sections of the Clyde Walkway through the centre of the city of Glasgow, through waymarked cross-country routes such as the ever popular West Highland Way, to unofficial, partly pathless challenges for experienced backpackers such as the Cape Wrath Trail.

Walkhighlands would like to acknowledge the support of Scottish Natural Heritage for its help with partial funding of our guides to the Annandale Way, Ayrshire Coastal Path, Borders Abbeys Way, St Cuthberts Way, Formartine and Buchan Way, the Canals path, Rob Roy Way and the Southern Upland Way.
