EP 16: "The West Highland Way" with Jane McGeary from The West Highland Way

63 Percent Scottish: A Scotland Appreciation Podcast

05-09-2024 • 25 mins

Scotland's highland landscape is iconic. Sparkling lochs, soaring peaks and deep glens that have seen centuries of fascinating history. If you want to really experience the highlands, one great approach is to walk the West Highland Way. About 100 miles long, the Way starts in Glasgow's suburbs and winds its way to Fort William, along the way crossing some of Scotland's most renowned natural landmarks.

We've asked Jane McGeary from The West Highland Way to tell us all about the Way itself. In this episode we cover:

  • The history of the West Highland Way
  • The landmarks you might see along the way
  • How to prepare to traverse the entire path
  • How to support the maintenance of the West Highland Way
