West Highland Way In progress
About this route
Personal record of the West Highland Way from Milngavie (linked via the Kelvin Walkway from the Clyde Coastal Path and the same station used for John Muir Way legs) as far as Inversnaid. Days 1–2 used buses; days 3–4 were out-and-back from the car where public transport was not practical.
Route distance along the Way is about 59 km so far; total walked is higher because of the there-and-back legs. More sections to come.
