The Experience
From Fort William to Inverness, this route takes you through some of the most hauntingly beautiful terrain in Europe. The Great Glen Way forms the backbone, but the magic is in the detours.\n\nDay 3 brings you to the shores of Loch Ness - skip the tourist traps and wild camp at the secluded beach near Invermoriston. The midges can be brutal in summer, so pack a head net and embrace the Scottish tradition of complaining about them over a dram.\n\nThe final approach into Inverness along the Caledonian Canal is surprisingly peaceful - a perfect wind-down after days of moorland scrambling. End your trip at the Clachnaharry Inn, where the fish and chips are legendary.
