Hiking in Scotland was amazing, I’ll be back for sure but for me the walk really got impressive after Tyndrum, we restocked at the impressive Green Welly Stop and then headed out for a wild camp and into the part of the walk I found most impressive. Glencoe was simple beautiful.

The West Highland Way is a long-distance walking trail in Scotland, stretching for 96 miles (154 km) from Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, to Fort William, near the foot of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain. The trail was established in 1980 and is Scotland's first official long-distance walking trail. It passes through a varied landscape of lochs, forests, and mountains, offering stunning views of the Scottish Highlands. Along the way, walkers pass through small villages and towns where they can rest, refuel, and take in the local culture. The West Highland Way typically takes between five and nine days to complete, depending on walking speed and time taken for rest breaks. It is a popular trail for both experienced hikers and those new to long-distance walking, with many walkers coming from all over the world to experience the unique beauty of Scotland's rugged landscapes.
