The West Highland Way Day 6: Kinlochleven – Fort William
Hiking 154 km from Milngavie to Fort William, Scotland
Day 6: Kinlochleven – Fort William (24.9 km)
The last day of our amazing trip in the Highlands of Scotland. The day started with some light rain but soon the sun started to shine again. After a beautiful panoramic view over Loch Leven we continued the tour over the paths (old military roads) through the hills. We had a short break with views over grazing sheep, the River Kiachnish and the Scottish wilderness under a blue sky. Just perfect.
Ben Nevis and Rainbows
Of course our trip couldn’t end without one last rain shower. When we were descending to Fort William, we passed Ben Nevis. The Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles standing at 1,344 metres above sea level. A rainbow was shining over it so we couldn’t have a better end of this great trip. Definitely worth going back.
Thank you, Scotland!
For your hospitality, friendly people and breathtaking nature. See you soon!
