The Great Glen Ways

What are the Three Ways?

The Great Glen is a natural feature - a geological fault line between Fort William and Inverness. The area encompasses some of the best known landmarks in Scotland including Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. The Glen is a significant tourist attraction and major route through the Highlands, between east and west.

Most visitors will drive through the Glen, but the three Great Glen Ways - walking, cycling and boating - offer a sustainable alternative. Whether completed from coast to coast, or sampled in bite-sized chunks, the three ways offer an unforgettable experience.
