Day 8 on the West Highland Way and the entirety of the trail is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Kinlochleven to Fort Williams — 15 miles.

Rain, cloudy, sun, rinse and repeat. Rain gear from top to bottom reminded on all day.

Today’s route was a good mix of ups, downs and smooth trail. Sheep and remains of old homesteads littered the trail until which time Ben Nevis came into view, then all else went to the wayside.

Quite honestly, this hike has been fantastic. Everything from the trail, views and the vibe to people and towns. This will easily be one of our favorites.

Ending the night and this journey at the lime tree hotel in Fort William. Grateful. 🙏

Day 7 on the West Highland Way is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Glencoe to Kinlochleven — 9 miles through the Scottish Highlands.

Partly cloudy skies, chilly air, and another unforgettable day on trail.

Today’s route followed wide gravel paths and old military roads, including the infamous Devil’s Staircase — a steep zig-zag climb built along an old military road dating back to the 1700s. Despite the intimidating name, the real reward is at the top, where the views open up across Glencoe and the surrounding Highlands in every direction. Standing there, looking back across the landscape we had just crossed, it was easy to understand why this section is one of the most iconic parts of the West Highland Way.

Kinlochleven sits tucked beneath the surrounding mountains and feels like a fitting place to pause before the final push north.

We’ve genuinely enjoyed every part of this journey — the challenge, the scenery, the conversations, and the perspective that comes with moving through places like this on foot.

Tomorrow brings the final stretch — a little more than 15 miles to Fort William and the finish of the West Highland Way. A day that will no doubt bring both celebration and reflection as we officially become West Highland Way thru hikers. 🦅

Day 6 on the West Highland Way is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Bridge of Orchy to Glencoe — 12 miles through the Scottish Highlands.

Partly cloudy skies, chilly air, and just enough rain to close out the hike.

Today’s trail consisted mostly of gravel paths and old military roads, with wide-open views stretching in every direction. The mountains felt bigger today, more rugged and pronounced, and you could sense the landscape beginning to change the farther north we push.

After a long day on trail, the sight of the historic Kingshouse Hotel — originally built in the mid-1700s as a refuge for travelers crossing Rannoch Moor — was a welcomed reward. Being here, surrounded by the Highlands and a place layered with so much history, feels like a fitting end to another memorable day on trail. 🦅

Day 5 on the West Highland Way is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy — 6.5 trail miles, 7.34 miles total on the day.

Partly cloudy skies, chilly air, and a welcome change of pace. Today’s trail was mostly gravel roads with wide-open views of the Highlands in every direction.

At first glance, the mileage felt a little underwhelming compared to what we’ve pushed through so far. But recovery matters too. A lighter day on trail was probably exactly what was needed, because the next stretch takes us right back into double-digit miles and bigger climbs.

Tonight we’re staying at the historic Bridge of Orchy Hotel, a longtime Highland stop along the old military roads that helped connect this rugged part of Scotland in the 1700s. Standing here after a day on trail, it’s easy to imagine generations of travelers arriving at the same place for warmth, rest, and a good meal before continuing north.

Grateful for another day out here with good people, moving forward one step at a time. 🦅

Day 4 on the West Highland Way is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Inverarnan to Tyndrum — 12 trail miles, 12.86 miles total on the day.

We experienced a little bit of everything weather-wise today — sun, clouds, rain, and constant clothing adjustments along the way.

The trail profile was gentler overall, winding past gorges, rivers, sheep, highland cows, and pieces of Scottish history tied to Robert the Bruce. But more than anything, today delivered those surreal, “this can’t be real” kind of views — the kind that look more like a screensaver than real life.

At this point, this trip has exceeded every expectation we had. Grateful for the experience, the miles, and the opportunity to share it all alongside good friends. 🦅

Day 3 on the West Highland Way is officially in the books.

Today’s route took us from Rowardennan to Inverarnan — 15 trail miles, 15.78 miles total on the day.

Mostly cloudy skies with periods of rain made for a true Scottish hiking experience. Today’s trails felt more like an obstacle course at times — endless rocks, roots, slick footing, and plenty of those “pointless ups and downs” that test both the legs and the mindset.

But the reward? Absolutely breathtaking scenery around every turn. The colors here are hard to put into words, and honestly, photos don’t do this place justice.

Tonight we’re staying at the historic Drovers Inn, a place that dates back to 1705 and has welcomed travelers, cattle drovers, and Highland wanderers for centuries. After a long, wet day on trail, walking into a place with that kind of history and character just feels right.

As the locals might say… we’re a bit knackered. So now it’s time for dinner, some real substance, and celebrating another solid day on trail.

Relentless Forward Progress. 🦅

Day 2 on the West Highland Way is in the books.

Drymen to Rowardennan — 15 trail miles, 16.72 miles total on the day.

Mostly sunny skies, smooth trails, and some serious climbs — including Conic Hill. Beautiful stone walls, more sheep than we could count, and Loch Lomond sitting calm and quiet as the gateway to the surrounding mountains.

Tomorrow is rumored to be the most difficult day on trail… and the forecast is calling for rain.

We signed up for this.
We chose our hard.

Day 1 on the West Highland Way is in the books.

Milngavie to Drymen — 12.5 trail miles, 14 miles total on the day.

Perfect conditions. Partly cloudy, sun breaking through, everything in bloom. Smooth trail, incredible scenery, and even better company.

Tomorrow’s profile looks like more of a challenge… but that’s for then.

Tonight we’re staying at the historic Winnock Hotel in Drymen, a former 18th-century coaching inn that has welcomed travelers moving through the Highlands for generations. A fitting place to rest, refuel, and settle into the rhythm of the trail before heading deeper into Scotland tomorrow.

For now — off to dinner. 🦅

05/04/2026

We landed in Glasgow yesterday and made our way by train to Milngavie today—the official starting point of the West Highland Way.

Tomorrow morning—breakfast, packs on, and we step off.

96 miles ahead to Fort William.
The team is ready.
