Cicerone - West Highland Way Map Booklet

This booklet of Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps has been designed for convenient use on the trail. It shows the full and up-to-date line of the Way, along with the relevant extract from the OS Explorer map legend. It is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack and comes in a clear PVC sleeve.

All the mapping you need to complete the 95 mile (153km) West Highland Way, an official Scottish Long Distance Route from Milngavie near Glasgow to Fort William. Showcasing the wild beauty of western Scotland, the trail is a journey from the lowlands to the highlands, passing Loch Lomond then crossing Rannoch Moor before finishing in the shadow of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The walk takes roughly a week to complete and is presented in seven stages ranging from 8 to 20 miles.

NOTE An accompanying Cicerone guidebook – The West Highland Way – describes the full route with lots of other practical, historical and cultural information. The guidebook INCLUDES a copy of this map booklet.
