East Highland Way
A relative newcomer to the long distance walking scene in Scotland, the East Highland Way runs over 82 miles between Fort William and Aviemore.
With glorious scenery, and lots and lots of rivers and lochs, it's also a lovely walk in which to escape the crowds that fill some parts of the Highlands.
