The route

From Milngavie on Glasgow's edge, the West Highland Way climbs Conic Hill for the first view over Loch Lomond, then keeps to the loch's eastern shore under Ben Lomond before opening out at Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy. From there the path runs dead straight across Rannoch Moor, following the line of a military road built in the 1750s to move troops north after the Jacobite risings, later resurfaced by the engineer Thomas Telford.

Past the Kingshouse Hotel, which has stood beside that military road since the 1700s, the path climbs to its highest point, 550 m at the Devil's Staircase, then drops steeply to Kinlochleven and finishes along Glen Nevis into Fort William. The ground underfoot tells its own history: suburban path, open bog, a soldier's road across the moor and a drove track down into the glen, each stretch built for a different reason long before anyone walked it for its own sake.

Made for someone who walked it. Or for your own wall, because you did.
