The Great Glen Ways are a combination of routes that you can do in the greatest of all the Scottish glens. Whether you choose to travel by boot, boat or bike, you will find your journey through the magnificent scenery between Fort William in the south west and Inverness in the north Altsigh east a great experience.

The Caledonian Canal, the Bike Trails or the Great Glen Way can be tackled in as few as 2 days or as many as 10, by traversing the greatest geological fault in Britain and following in Thomas Telford’s historic footsteps, and then up along trails in the majestic forests that cloak the hillsides.

You can choose to start in the north east at Inverness or the south west in Fort William, but be prepared to be dwarfed by the scenery and wildlife that will soar in the sky above you or scoot on the paths and roads in front of you.

This Accommodation and Services Guide is put together for all wayfarers of the Great Glen by the Great Glen Way Rangers. You will find it easy to use, helping you to plan your journey, find out how to enter the photo competition or purchase merchandise to mark your journey - and lots more.

Check out the website www.greatglenway.com for the latest news on the routes: where forest harvesting is taking place, where canal repairs are being undertaken or where other route diversions are in place as necessary to maintain the integrity of the routes and infrastructure. Check back to the website when you have completed your journey to give feedback, complete the questionnaire and get your certificate.

Enjoy your journey, whatever the weather, and come back to do it again another way!

3 By Boot / Le Bròig The Great Glen Way Slighe a’ Ghlinne Mhòir

The Great Glen Way is one of Scotland’s Great Trails.

This magnificent 79 mile/127km waymarked route stretches from Fort William in the south west to Inverness in the north east.

Starting (or ending) in Fort William in the shadow of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, the route traverses the country’s greatest geological fault and follows sections of Thomas Telford’s historic Caledonian Canal before reaching Inverness, the capital of the Highlands.

The route can be walked in 4 – 7 days, staying overnight in the various communities in the Great Glen, and suits all level of walker. For the most part the route is low-level and follows mainly canal towpaths, forest tracks and roads. There are some challenging sections though, and the more experienced walker may wish to tackle the Munros or Corbetts which lie within easy reach of the route.

Keep an eye out for osprey, golden eagles, red kite and deer while enjoying the views available from this low-level yet challenging long distance route.

The Great Glen Way is part of the Planning and Development Service of The Highland Council.

4 By Boat / Le Bàta The Caledonian Canal An Canàl Cailleannach

The entire length of Great Glen can also be explored by boat whether by pleasure cruiser, sail boat, kayak or canoe. This navigation route is maintained and managed by Scottish Canals.

The world-famous Caledonian Canal links the Atlantic Ocean and Loch Linnhe on the west coast to the North Sea and the Firth on the east coast. Of the Caledonian Canal’s 60 miles. only 22 miles are man- made. The remainder of the distance is formed by the great lochs of Ness, Lochy and Oich.

Scottish Canals welcomes responsible wild campers to selected sites along the Caledonian Canal, and provides fresh water points and toilet facilities along the route. Find the details of the facilities and how to contact Scottish Canals later in the guide.

Great Glen Canoe Trail In March 2012 the Great Glen Canoe Trail was formally opened. The Canoe Trail offers paddler-specific infrastructure including low level pontoons, canoe tacks, Trail Blazer Sites and dedicated car parking as well as an attractive guide book and website. The route is suitable for paddlers with previous experience or novices joining guided expeditions. Details of canoe hire and expedition companies are later in the guide.

Find out more on the following websites: www.greatglencanoetrail.info www.scottishcanals.co.uk [email protected] 5 By Bike / Le Baidhsagal The Great Glen Way Slighe a’ Ghlinne Mhòir

It is possible to cycle all of the Great Glen by mountain bike or robust hybrid along the same route as the footpath, the Great Glen Way itself. The Caledonian Canal towpath and forest roads along Loch Lochy and Loch Oich offer some scenic but less demanding options. There are many opportunities for informal cycling along the Glen. There are also a collection of cycling facilities at a variety of Great Glen locations should you fancy a day out of your walking boots:

Aonach Mor www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-6NLEYH Abriachan www.mtb-highland.com/Abriachan-g.asp They provide opportunities for everyone - from beginners and families to world-class competition level.

15 16 17 Frequently Asked Questions Ceistean Cumanta

How long does it take to walk the Great Glen Way? Most walkers take 5 or 6 days to walk the route, walking in stages of between 10 and 19 miles (16 – 30km) in length. See our website for suggested itineraries.

Can you camp along the route? We practice a “leave no trace” policy when camping in the Great Glen. Commercial campsites are available throughout the Great Glen, as well as free camping pitches made available by Scottish Canals along the Caledonian Canal (please see the SC advert later in this guide.) Any other camping along the route should be undertaken well away from settlements, roads and possible ground water supplies.

How high is the route/what is the highest point? The highest point on the route lies between Drumnadrochit and Abriachan where the path rises to just over 375 metres. The southern half of the route (Fort William to Fort Augustus) is level or gently rolling. North of Fort Augustus the route begins to climb and rises and falls between the different villages along Loch Ness. These sections include some long climbs, but are well worth it as they also have some of the best views on the route.

Is there a short cut down into Invermoriston, from the direction of Fort Augustus? Yes, there is now a short link path that goes down through the forest to the village of Invermoriston. Please note that this takes nearly two miles off your day! The original route along forest track is still waymarked and offers disabled access onto this section.

Abriachan

18 Do you have mileage markers? We currently do not have mileage markers installed along the route. However if you download our Route Distances document from the website, you can keep track of your progress in miles as you travel along the Glen. It is one sided, A4 and free.

Can I walk with my dog? Under the new Scottish Outdoor Access Code, dogs are welcome on all sections of the Great Glen Way as long as they are under close control at all times and kept on a lead in areas with sheep and lambs. The lambing season in this area is 1st April to 31st May. Relevant areas will normally have signs informing you of this. When making your travel arrangements make sure that dogs are allowed on public transport as not all providers allow dogs on their vehicles apart from guide dogs.

Can I cycle the Great Glen Way? You can cycle the Great Glen Way route, but only using mountain bikes or a robust hybrid. You use the same route as the Great Glen Way footpath.

Are there any shops available on the route? Major supermarkets are available in Fort William and Inverness. Grocery and gift shops are to be found throughout the Great Glen, as well as Post Offices and petrol stations. Always check the route in advance if you are relying on shops for essential supplies.

How bad are the midges? Midges are at their worst between June and September, but it varies from year to year and is dependent on weather. To get detailed information about midges during your visit, look at the midge forecast on www.midgeforecast.co.uk.

Where can I get information on wildlife or sights en route?
