Engelse omschrijving:  The Great Glen Way is one of Scotland’s Great Trails and offers a superb experience for both walkers and cyclists. The Way runs for 77 miles (124 km) along Scotland’s Great Glen between Fort William and Inverness. It follows the scenic Caledonian Canal and runs beside four of the Highlands’ loveliest lochs – including Loch Ness, famous for its monster legend and for Urquhart Castle. The route has been enhanced with several High Route options, most recently the 2024 Abriachan High Route taking walkers to a new high point at 434 m/1425 ft.

This edition was revised in late April 2024 and covers several important route updates for 2024-25: the Invergarry link route is mandatory until Loch Oichside reopens in 2025, the Fort Augustus to Invermoriston High Route is closed until summer 2024 and the approach to Inverness has changed around Craig Dunain. See Route updates below for more detail. The book is in our slim pocket-friendly format, with perfect binding (glued and sewn) and still on rainproof paper.
