Introduction To The West Highland Way

West Highland Way Episode 1, Milngavie to Drymen
Hey Y'all! The West Highland Way opened in 1980 as the first officially designated long-distance footpath in Scotland. In 2010 it became the first European Trail added to the International Appalachian Trail. I've had this trail on my radar for a few years now, and it seemed like the perfect thru-hike to attempt while 6 months pregnant. It's been a beautiful trail so far and I can't wait to share the rest with you!
