Opened in 1980, the West Highland Way was Scotland's first Long Distance Route. It runs from Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William. This sixth edition of the Official Guide has been fully-revised and updated to include recent modifications to the route and is accompanied by a full-colour map.

Bob Aitken compiled and wrote the first edition of The West Highland Way in 1980. Roger Smith is an experienced writer and hillwalker with an extensive knowledge of the area covered in this book and its history. A former editor of the The Great Outdoors magazine, he has written a large number of books about walking and the outdoors.
'If the objective of a guide book is to impart essential information, then this new guide to the West Highland Way achieves that and famously; minute directional detail, names and addresses of accommodation providers, location of camp sites, bunkhouses, hostels, huts and bothies, services and supplies, equipment, training and preparation, countryside code, even a map... But this guide exceeds that purpose. It is an evocation of all that is best about Scotland and its countryside.' Bruce Sandison, The Herald.
