Milngavie, Inverness and Aviemore on foot.

If you've ever wanted to walk across the Highlands, Fort William is the place to start or finish. Walk in from Milngavie by Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor and Glencoe, and arrive in the town at the foot of Ben Nevis. Or set out along the Caledonian Canal to Loch Ness and Inverness, on good paths that leave you free to look around. A quieter route heads east by the beaches of Loch Laggan to Aviemore and the Cairngorms. These trips are organised for you, with a mountain leader on the West Highland Way and your bags carried ahead. Break in your boots before you go.

The Old Forge at Inverie, on the Knoydart peninsula, is billed as the most remote pub on mainland Britain, and no road leads to it.

Knoydart's seven miles of tarred road are not connected to the rest of the UK road system, so the only ways in are by boat or on foot. A ferry crosses from Mallaig to Inverie, or you can walk 16 miles through rough country to get there. The peninsula is sometimes called Britain's last wilderness, and the Old Forge is its only pub. Since March 2022 the pub has been owned by the Knoydart community itself.

Issue 10Spring / Summer 2025

For Claire Mookerjee, owner of the Borradill cabins above Loch Sunart, the Ardnamurchan peninsula is the place where the Highlands turn into the Hebrides.

Along the sea loch the coast has a gentleness to it, with ancient oaks falling into smooth rocks, small inlets and islands. A few miles down the road it becomes a Hebridean landscape of dramatic volcanic peaks and white sand beaches. That gentleness, with the feeling of being completely unspoilt, is what she finds so magical. 'Like you’ve uncovered a precious jewel by turning up a rock'. Her favourite walks climb Ben Laga behind Borradill, and follow the coast from Portuairk to the white sands of Sanna Beach. In midsummer it doesn't get dark until almost midnight, so a day out there is a long, golden one.
