West Highland Way

Scotland's first long-distance path, running north from the edge of Glasgow into the Highlands. It follows the whole eastern shore of Loch Lomond, crosses the emptiness of Rannoch Moor, climbs the Devil's Staircase out of Glen Coe and ends at Fort William under Ben Nevis. Much of it is on old drove roads and military roads.
