The Great Glen is a natural feature – a geological fault line between Fort William and Inverness. The area encompasses some of the best known landmarks in Scotland including Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. The Glen is a significant tourist attraction and major route through the Highlands, between east and west. Most visitors will drive through the Glen, but the three Great Glen Ways – wa

lking, cycling and boating – offer a sustainable alternative. Whether completed from coast to coast, or sampled in bite-sized chunks, the ‘three ways’ offer an unforgettable experience. The Great Glen Ways Project is primarily an access and interpretation initiative embracing The Caledonian Canal, The Great Glen Mountain Bike Trails and The Great Glen Way Long Distance Route. The route is maintained by the Long Distance Route rangers and wardens.

GGW Route Diversion, north of Fort Augustus.

Users of the GGW, please be aware that the route north of Fort Augustus will be closed for a period of time over the winter to allow for the safe harvesting of timber.

The closure is due to begin from the 28th of October and will last through the winter until the end of January.

During this time, people wishing to travel the GGW will have to follow the marked diversion route which adds around 5km of distance to the section.

More information can be found on the Great Glen Way website: https://www.highland.gov.uk/greatglenway/news/article/43/route_diversion_-_north_of_fort_augustus. Both that and this post will be kept updated with current information regarding the diversion.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are pleased to announce that the high route path between Fort Augustus and Invermoriston is open to the public again. There is still some on-going work in the area so please be aware of that and follow instruction from signs/banksmen.

We are pleased to announce the addition of another high route option for the Great Glen Way. In collaboration with the Abriachan Forest Trust we have marked a route through Abriachan that takes users over the hill, Carn na Leitire, before joining back with the original route.

This option adds 1.2 km of distance, will take users to the 'new' highest point of the route at 434m and mostly follows well constructed footpaths. This option is ideal if you want a break from the wider forestry roads. The views are pretty great as well!

More information can be found on our website: https://www.highland.gov.uk/greatglenway/info/16/ and there are also information panels at either end of the new high route with maps and additional details.
