The West Highland Way passes through some of the most spectacular
scenery in all of Britain. From the outskirts of Glasgow it winds for 96
miles (154.5km) along the wooded banks of Loch Lomond, across the
wilderness of Rannoch Moor, over the mountains above Glencoe to a
dramatic finish passing Ben Nevis - Britain's highest mountain - into
the centre of Fort William. This is the fully revised 8th edition.
