Itinerary description

18 days trek in the Scottish Highlands in May 2018.

We started in Milngavie and walked north, following the West Highland Way. Arrived in Fort William, we took a bus toward Fort Augustus and walked the 2 high route stages of the Great Glen Way. Then in Drumnadrochit, we headed back west and walked the outstanding Affric Kintail Way toward Morvich. There, we took a bus and spend a day in Inverness. Then another bus took us to Edinburg where was spent 3 days. In total, we hiked about 330km and spent most of our nights in camp site or pitching our tent in the wild.
