About The Great Glen Ways Project

The aim of the Great Glen Ways Project is to strengthen the identity of the Glen, improve visitor satisfaction and encourage more people to come and enjoy the three Great Glen Ways – making a significant contribution to the local economy.

The project is managed by The Highland Council in partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland and British Waterways Scotland.

The Great Glen Ways Project Officer is Ann Hackett.

Structures and signs

Large distinctive stone and timber structures have been placed at points of interest throughout the Glen, onto which information and interpretation panels have been installed. The main themes cover history, archaeology, folklore, forest management, natural history, landscape and wildlife. Information panels have also been installed at Tourist Information Centres throughout the Glen. Way-marker posts and other signs have been improved, making it easier for visitors to find their way. All structures and signs have a distinctive Great Glen Ways design and colour - view some examples.
