East Highland Way

Book a walking holiday on the East Highland Way and meander through the Highlands of Scotland, from Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis to Aviemore in the shadow of the Cairngorm Mountains.

The walk passes through secluded glens, heather-clad hills, rugged mountains and pine-scented forests. The wildlife here is abundant, and with luck you may spot golden eagles, red squirrels, mountain hares and even the elusive Scottish wildcat.

As well as the iconic scenery and wildlife on offer, this trail also explores some of Scotland’s finest historical attractions including Old Inverlochy Castle, the Pictish Fort Dun da Lamh and the island castle of Loch an Eilein.
