This new long distance route runs from Fort William to Inverness through Glen Mor ("the Great Glen"), a geological fault line which runs south-west to north-east across Scotland. The 73 mile route is generally easier than the West Highland Way, as it mostly follows the course of the Caledonian Canal, and the shores of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness. Walking is typically on low-lying canal tow-paths, forest tracks and paths, but there are sections where the route climbs high above the shoreline, giving great views over Loch Ness. The average daily walking distance is about 12 miles, but there are one or two longer days depending on how many days you take to walk the route.

The independent tour includes:
7 or 8 nights accommodation in small hotels, inns and guesthouses with ensuite facilities unless unavailable. Breakfast, luggage transfer, maps and trail guidebook.

Highlights: Loch Ness, Inverness, Urquhart Castle, Clan Cameron Museum

From $1057 CAD per person sharing twin room
