The West Highland Way is jointly managed by The Highland Council, East Dunbartonshire Council, Stirling Council, Argyll and Bute Council and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Authority.
The West Highland Way is 152km (95 miles) long and links Milngavie to Fort William -
From the outskirts of Glasgow (Scotland’s largest city) to the foot of Ben Nevis (its highest mountain), following the shores of Loch Lomond, across Rannoch Moor to the head of Glencoe, over the Devil's Staircase to Kinlochleven finally reaching Fort William in Lochaber, one of the country's best destinations for outdoor activities. It passes from the lowlands across the Highland Boundary Fault and on to the Scottish Highlands. Much of the Way follows ancient and historic routes of communication, and makes use of the drove roads along which highlanders herded their cattle and sheep to market in the lowlands,military roads built by troops to help control the Jacobite Clans, old coaching roads and disused railway lines from the more recent past.
