Facts and practical information

The East Highland Way is a long distance walking route in Scotland that connects Fort William with the ski and mountain resort of Aviemore . The route was described by Kevin Langan in 2007. The name is derived from the fact that the route terminates in Aviemore at the eastern edge of Highland region. The EHW route takes in a varied and wild landscape through deep forest plantations, passing many highland lochs and negotiating unspoilt marshlands. The route also explores the ancient Caledonian forests of Inshriach. The walk is 82 miles long. ()
