Experience the West Highland Way as you’ve never seen it before. Not the West Highland Way: A Mountain High Way explores a series of alternative day walks, mountain routes and multi-day options that run alongside, above and beyond Scotland’s most popular long-distance trail. From Milngavie to Fort William, these routes swap busy paths and low-level tracks for high ridges, classic peaks and sweeping Highland views, offering a wilder, more challenging way to engage with this iconic landscape. Designed for walkers who want to go beyond the standard 96-mile route, this guidebook shows how to build tougher, more adventurous itineraries using high-level detours, standalone mountain days or linked multi-day routes. It’s ideal for experienced hillwalkers, return visitors to the West Highland Way, or anyone looking to combine iconic scenery with greater challenge and solitude.
