Great Glen Way

This guidebook (fully updated in 2024) contains all you need to plan and enjoy a holiday walking or cycling along Scotland's historic Great Glen (77 miles/124 km). The Way runs between Fort William and Inverness, passing beside Scotland's highest mountain, along its historic Caledonian Canal and alongside beautiful lochs, including Loch Ness with its famous monster legend and Urquhart Castle.

This seventh edition covers all route options including the newly opened Abriachan section of High Route as well as details of the route changes that apply during 2024 and 2025 because of the closure of Loch Oichside and the High Route beyond Fort Augustus.

Here is all you need to plan and enjoy the Great Glen Way – on foot or on a bike:
