      <image:title>Blog - Tips for hiking Scotland’s epic West Highland Way - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The rolling hills in the glen The next six miles were rough, with climb after climb. Just when I thought we might have a little reprieve, I would take my eyes off the trail, look up, and my soul would drop to see the trail keep winding up. Maybe it was because we were tired, our muscles ached, and our feet were not happy. Right at the 7.5-mile point, there was a country road winding down through the hillside and into Fort William. I was told it cuts out three miles of walking and is all downhill which cuts out the tough 6 miles. Also, it is the only way out of the glen and should be used if you are having a medical issue.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bill sitting on a wall along the West Highland Way The trail followed a stone wall for quite a bit (off and on) which was a great place to stop for a rest, have a seat for lunch, or just take in the view. Kingshouse has an interesting hotel that is set up for hikers. As we approached the main hotel, there was a standalone building with showers and toilets for the wild campers and a large flat area for pitching tents. There are two restaurants at Kingshouse, one attached to the main hotel, which is set up for walkers, and one that is more fine dining for hotel guests. The restaurant for hikers has hot soups, meat pies, and sandwiches, and that’s about it. And they only have flat wooden spoons and cutlery, which made it hard to eat my soup. But the soup was the best cream of mushroom soup I have ever had. The views from the hotel lobby were spectacular. I can only imagine the views from the fancy restaurant and some of the rooms, and I wish we had stayed at the Kingshouse Hotel. As we were taking a rest day, we decided to stay in Glencoe, a 15-minute drive away, as we thought there would be more to do in a small town rather than in a hotel in Kingshouse with nothing around.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of the many stream crossings Kinlochleven has many accommodations and restaurants, we stayed at the McDonald Hotel which is perfectly situated on the path on the edge of town. The McDonald Hotel was clean, friendly and has great views from the restaurant, the beds were comfort and the food was good, especially the Cullen Skink and Cheesy Garlic Bread. Kinlochleven to Fort William Distance: 15.7 miles and 2,250 feet in ascent Top Tip: There is a country road that cuts out three miles The final leg of this tremendous journey was bittersweet. This section was the most challenging day for me. It was downright hard, and if I could have given up, I would have. But it was the last day, so I gave it my all. The day started with a steep climb out of Kinlochleven, lasting 1.27 miles and 792 feet in ascent. Once we were at the top of the initial climb, we walked through a glen (valley) that was uninhabited by humans and farm animals. The trail had gentle ups and downs until we reached the halfway point of the day. We knew it was halfway as soon as we saw the dozens of walkers sitting on the ground eating lunch.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Steak Pie and curry special at the Clachan Inn Drymen has one of the best restaurants along the entire West Highland Way, the Clachan Inn. It was wonderful! Drymen has a handful of restaurants, but the Clachan Inn is not to be missed, so make sure you make a reservation a few weeks ahead of time. Drymen to Balmaha Distance: 8.5 miles with 1,336 feet total ascents Top Tip: In bad weather, take the low route around Conic Hill This was the day we conquered Conic Hill and its 1,033 feet elevation gain in under a mile and steep descent into Balmaha. This section of the West Highland Way is all about the views and is also a popular day hike for locals, so it can be quite crowded on a nice day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The rolling hills and military road The Bridge of Orchy Hotel was a great place to stop and have a cup of tea and some cake. They had a nice restaurant inside and lovely tables outside along the river. The Inveroran Hotel is 2.5 miles from the Bridge of Orchy, but first, there was a climb up a steep forest track to reach the top of the ridge. I loved this 2.5 miles—it was a workout, but the views were out of this world, and it renewed my soul.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Crianlarich crossroads the halfway point marker of the West Highland Way This day snuck up on me physically. I felt great when we were walking, but by the time we got to our B&amp;B, three of my toes were bruised, and one of them was completely black. I honestly don’t know how it happened, as we were mainly walking uphill. I thought it would happen with the big descents. Tyndrum is one of the largest towns along the West Highland Way, and it has many restaurant choices. It is also home to the Green Welly Stop, where you can pick up anything you need here. I am also told they have the best food, so I wish we had eaten there. We chose to eat at the Tyndrum Inn, which was very popular with other walkers. We chatted with almost every walker we saw during the day, and everyone told us we had to eat at the Tyndrum Inn. We stayed at the Tigh-na-Fraoch B&amp;B, which was nice but very basic. There were no TVs or kettles in your room, but these were available in the common room. The only reason the TV was an issue was it was the day of the Queen’s funeral, and we would have loved to have seen highlights. We had a great breakfast with fresh-caught trout and eggs.  Tyndrum to Inveroran Distance: 10 miles and 1,180 feet in ascent Top Tip: Enjoy this section, and do not miss the Inveroran Hotel</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Built-in stairs between Balmaha to Rowardenna Rowardennan has a few accommodation options, including the Rowardennan Hotel, Rowardennan Lodge Youth Hostel, and a few cabins you can rent long-term. Now for the truth about the Rowardennan Hotel! This hotel has lots of terrible reviews. I mean so many that I tried desperately to find a different place to stay. But I’m glad we didn’t book elsewhere because this family-run hotel really stood out as one of the best hotels along the West Highland Way. Our experience at the Rowardennan Hotel was great—the staff were welcoming and friendly, the rooms were clean, and we had an amazing view of Loch Lomond. The restaurant was good, with prompt service, and we enjoyed delicious appetizers, dinner, and a large breakfast the next day. So, don’t listen to the reviews and do stay at this hotel (and no, I am not getting paid to say this).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The cereal and fruit bar at Bay Cottage B&amp;B Balmaha to Rowardennan Distance: 8.25 miles and 845 feet in ascents Top Tip: You can skirt around the steep climb right out of Balmaha if your legs feel like Jello This was a nice easy day for us, and I am glad we decided to stay in Balmaha instead of walking all the way to Rowardennan. If you have the time, I would highly recommend staying in Balmaha. We even got the best tip from our B&amp;B host about walking around the next demanding but impressive hill. To find this shortcut, walk to the end of the road just past the West Highland Way sign that leads up the steep forest path. When you come to the end of the road, follow the path along the water’s edge, over a bridge, and around a few boulders where the path meets back up with the West Highland Way.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Me climbing the Devil’s Staircase The Devil’s Staircase was crowded and slow going at times. We had to stop and wait quite a bit; there were lots of hikers passing each other, and some stopped to take rests. It is important to be patient in this section, patient with yourself, and patient with others. Everyone is being challenged, and everyone is taking the same steps as you. The Devil’s Staircase itself is 1.23 miles and 1,144 feet in ascent. The rest of the way to Kinlochleven was fun and easy, most of it walking through moorland and over streams with beautiful views.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The top of the ridge with amazing views At the top of the ridge, you can see the remote Inveroran Hotel sitting in a low valley along a river, and the path leads right to the front door. The Inveroran Hotel was the absolute best hotel along the West Highland Way and the best restaurant! I liked the way they ran this hotel. When we arrived, they checked us in and had us pre-order our evening meal. The dining room was small, warm, and cozy with only a few tables, but the food and presentation were five-star fine dining.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>View from our taxi to Glencoe, where Harry Potter was filmed If you are staying anywhere besides the Kingshouse Hotel, you need to have a pre-booked transfer. I cannot stress this enough! We got to Kingshouse early and wanted to have a beer and a snack, which we did, and so did all the other walkers. When we were ready to leave, we called our pre-arranged taxi, and he told us he could not pick us up for two hours because he was just about to start his “school run.” This was not what we wanted to hear. We called every taxi service in the area, and they all told us the same thing, “sorry, we are full today; you have to have it pre-booked.” So, we just had to wait two hours. We saw a few meltdowns from other groups who did not know this information, and everyone was scrambling on their phones, looking up and calling taxis and hotels. In the end, they had to backtrack and walk a mile to a bus stop to wait for a bus that only runs every few hours. Kingshouse to Kinlochleven Distance: 9.8 miles and 1,400 feet in ascent Top Tip: When tackling the Devil’s Staircase, be patient with yourself and others The Devil’s Staircase is one of the most popular sections of the West Highland Way, and with breathtaking views of Buachaille Etive Mor and Mamores mountain range, it is easy to see why. The climb is in the form of zig-zags and takes you to the highest point of the West Highland Way. The path is a combination of stairs built into the mountainside, large stones, dirt, and gravel.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Highland Cows on the path We really lucked out with good weather, and so the views over Loch Lomond were spectacular. Highland cattle roamed the hillside; you will most likely run into them, but they mostly ignored the walkers and did not seem aggressive. Everyone talks about climbing Conic Hill, but no one talks about the descent. I found the descent off Conic Hill to be the most difficult terrain of the entire West Highland Way. I could not believe how steep and slippery it was, and it just went on and on. My legs were shaking uncontrollably, turning into flappy rubber. I would much rather climb up Conic Hill 10 times before ever walking down it again. To tell you the truth, I did not think I was going to make it to the bottom without my leg muscles giving out. But no one was sending me a helicopter, so I just had to keep going, hoping each step would be steady. I did not realize I had such a fear of falling or not making it down a hill. My advice is to use your poles! At the base of the hill, there is a path that goes around Conic Hill, and I would recommend taking it in bad weather.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Only steep section of the day This was by far my favorite day of the West Highland Way, even with a toenail threatening to fall off. It was a dream and was the first time we really felt we were in the Highlands of Scotland. The views were amazing, the weather was crisp, and we were in our groove. After an initial steep climb out of Tyndrum, the path was gentle with rolling hills all the way to Bridge of Orchy. The only rough part was the old military road and those damn rocks!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fun spot along the West Highland Way When we crossed the halfway point of the West Highland Way, it was also right in the middle of the 14-mile day. We were getting tired as we approached the midpoint, where you take a sharp turn into the woods and begin a steep climb. So, we tried to find a spot to rest and have some lunch before the climb. We looked and looked and debated where to throw our rain jackets down to sit on, but we didn’t have much choice but to sit in the long grass with rocks underneath. It is always nice to rest your legs no matter what you are sitting on. But only five minutes down the path, at the midway signpost, we found a bench. Then, around the next corner, there was a picnic table. We really kicked ourselves and said, “If only we had known.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The official end. of the West Highland Way The descent into Fort William was a relief, a nice dirt and gravel path that turned into a tarmac sidewalk alongside a road to the official end of the West Highland Way. Fort William is a large town with countless accommodation and restaurant options. The most popular spot for a celebratory drink for West Highland Way walkers is the Ben Nevis Bar, which is a stone’s throw from the official end.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>View from the top of Conic Hill Once in Balmaha, I could only stumble into the Oak Tree Inn. But on such a nice day, it was stunning to sit outside on the deck overlooking Loch Lomond. The Oak Tree Inn has a large pub, a separate coffee and ice cream shop, and a shop where you can pick up sandwiches, candy bars, crisps, and some cooking supplies. There are also lots of rooms and cabins for an overnight stay. We stayed at Bay Cottage, which was the best B&amp;B we stayed at along the entire West Highland Way. We were greeted with tea, scones, jam, and clotted cream, and our hostess was like a warm grandmother wanting to pamper you. I could have stayed there for a week.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The old military road walking towards Kingshouse Black flies and midges have never bothered me in all my travels to Scotland. I know I’m one of the lucky ones. So, I was shocked when hundreds of black flies made their way under my shirt and bra and bit me at the base of my hairline. Black flies are the same size as our house flies but are blood-sucking nasty pests. I did not see any midges, the tiny gnat-like bugs most people complain about in this section much more than in any other area. I did wear “OFF” on this day, but I needed something more like a net cover. This section was relatively flat and easy on the body, but that military road was still hard going on my feet—I did have a tiny adult temper tantrum. I was so over the rocks!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>No shoes allowed in the Kip and Kirt We were welcomed with a cup of tea and a scone, which was nice. But once in the room, you could see the shortcuts. There were no water glasses or kettles, so you could not make yourself coffee or tea. You had to go into their kitchen and ask for a glass or help yourself. This was hard late at night or early in the morning before your allocated breakfast time, especially with over 20 guests staying there at one time. After a long walk, I like to take a shower and wrap up in a towel. But at the Kip in the Kirk, instead of real towels, they had small 2x2 foot microfiber car drying towels. So, when you jumped out of the shower, you had to wipe your cold body like you would a car or a countertop. I can only assume this was for convenience because they could easily fit 30 of those “towels” in one washing machine. However, the worst part of this B&amp;B was the absence of breakfast. Their website says they provide a continental breakfast. In our experience, this usually includes some sort of protein. In this instance, it was only bread from a bag, white bagels, one kind of cereal, butter, and marmalade. The hosts kept saying, “the star of the show is the marmalade; all you need is toast and marmalade.” They were very excited about the marmalade. I would have thought that B&amp;B owners that only serve West Highland Way walkers would at least provide them with some cold cuts, cheese, and hard-boiled eggs before a hard day of climbing Conic Hill, especially as most guests were setting off to cover 15 miles. Other guests must have felt the same because we saw a few people around the corner at the Drymen Inn having a cooked breakfast.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Smiling faces as we take the ferry If it is important to you to take every step of the West Highland Way, then go for it! But here are some easier alternatives if you choose: 1. Walk two miles from the Rowardennan Hotel to the Rowardennan Lodge Youth Hostel, where you can catch the ferry across the Loch to Luss. The ferry leaves once daily in the morning. Luss is a really cute village with plenty of lunch spots. 2. Take a bus the rest of the way to Inveranan 3. Walk 6.5 miles along the WHW to Inversnaid, where you can pick up the ferry to Tarbet, which departs three times a day. Inversnaid also has a nice hotel to break up this portion of the journey. Inveranan is the home of the infamous Drovers Inn, which is known as the most haunted hotel in Scotland. It is definitely worth going into the pub for a beer, but I would recommend staying and dining at Beinglas Farm. Inveranan to Tyndrum Distance: 14.2 miles and 1,914 feet in ascent Top Tip: Just past the signpost and plaque that marks the middle of the West Highland Way, there is a bench and, a few steps further, a picnic table This section felt much easier than the days leading up to it. It was still solidly uphill, but most of it was a gradual ascent with some short steep climbs. The walk was mostly on the old military road that the West Highland Way follows, so it was lots and lots of rocks and uneven ground. I believe this was the first day the rocks started to bother me, but we still had a great time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Salmon on top of smashed potatoes with broccolini and killer cream sauce If you are thinking of only doing a portion of the West Highland Way and seeing the highlights, I would start in Tyndrum and end in Kinlochleven, overnighting at the Inveroran Hotel, Kingshouse Hotel, and ending at the MacDonald Hotel in Kinlochleven. Inveroran to Kingshouse Distance: 10 miles and 1,107 feet in ascent Top Tip: If you are staying in Glencoe or other towns, make sure you have a taxi pre-booked from Kingshouse This is one of the classic stages of the West Highland Way, and it includes crossing Rannoch Moor. We followed the old military road across a vast wilderness of heather and bog surrounded by grand mountains. In good weather, this is a place of extreme beauty. In a storm, it can be wild, unforgiving, and exposed, especially at Kingshouse.</image:caption>
