The West Highland Way is a Long Distance Route between Milngavie and Fort William in Scotland. It runs for 154 kilometers (96 miles) and it is estimated that 80,000 people do a section of the route each year, 15,000 walk the entire trail. The West Highland Way was officially opened in 1980.

I wild camped the West Highland Way over seven nights. There's a video for each day along with a prologue. At each campsite along the West Highland Way I discussed and reviewed a category of gear:
