The Great Glen Way

Back in 2015, my wife Gillian and I accomplished our first long-distance hike, when we walked from Milngavie to Fort William along the West Highland Way. Although we have done a great deal of walking in the Scottish countryside in the years since, we have never done another of Scotland’s Great Trails, the collection of long distance walking routes that criss-cross the length and breadth of the country.

Like everyone else, by the end of the first lockdown in 2020, we were anxious to taste freedom again, and decided that it was time to don our hiking boots and attempt a second long-distance hike. This time, we chose to pick up where we left off in 2015, starting in Fort William and following the Great Glen Way
