The Great Glen Way long-distance footpath begins where the West Highland
Way ends - at Fort William - and follows the Great Glen faultline to
finish at Inverness after 79 miles (127km). The trail passes Loch Lochy,
Loch Oich and Loch Ness and also follows the towpath of the Caledonian
Canal. It's a relatively easy week-long walk amongst beautiful Highland
scenery but there's a high level option between Fort Augustus and
Drumnadrochit that gives even better mountain views.Includes 38 detailed
