You will be one of many users of the Great Glen Way. Please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code at all times. A single careless act can strain the goodwill of the owners and tennants whose livelihoods are dependant on the countryside you are walking through.

Things to remember

The Great Glen Way passes through some remote areas of countryside and it is your own responsibility to ensure that you take proper precautions when out on the route and prepare for your day's walk appropriately. These precautions may include wearing stout footwear and taking wet weather clothing among others.

Let someone know where you are going each day and what time you expect to be back

Make a note of where you can re-fill you water bottles. If you are walking through a remote area, make sure you take enough for the day. If it is going to be a hot day, take extra.

Bear in mind that people live and work along the route. Please allow them their privacy and try not to disturb them unless it is an emergency.

Please note mobile phones do not work at all points long the route, and should not be relied upon. There are public telephones available in the villages the route passes through.

The Great Glen Way crosses the A82 and other major highland roads. Please take care when crossing the roads, and keep an eye out for traffic.

Although the route is considered low level, bear in mind that the weather can be unpredictable. Make sure you are well prepared and equipped for poor weather conditions, even during the summer months.
