Trek the West Highland Way – Milngavie to Fort William, Scottish Highlands
Are you ready to take on one of the UK’s most breathtaking long-distance trails? Join us for a 96-mile adventure along the West Highland Way, trekking from Milngavie to Fort William over 4 unforgettable days through the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

Our friendly support team will be there every step of the way, staffing checkpoints with first aid, drinks, and snacks to keep you fuelled and motivated.
At the end of each day, you’ll arrive at a designated campsite with warm showers and drying facilities — the perfect place to recover, refuel, and share stories from the trail. (Upgrade to shepherds hut or bunk room where available)
