Great Glen Way - Slighe a' Ghlinne Mhòir

A waymarked route (75 m/120 km) from Fort William (leaving behind Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis) to Inverness, the Highlands capital. It follows a great geological fault and sections of Thomas Telford’s historic Caledonian Canal.

Covering 123.7 km, this is a true long-distance trail best approached as a multi-day journey through varied terrain.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start.

This route is part of the National Walking Network (NWN) — a flagship trail maintained to national standards, often following scenic or historically significant corridors.
