My Experience Hiking the Great Glen Way in Scotland

Have you ever considered hiking in Scotland? I hadn’t either—until my mom called me in January and casually mentioned she wanted to do a walking tour for her 65th birthday. After researching beginner-friendly long-distance hikes in the UK, we landed on a trail that promised lochs, legends, and a manageable challenge: The Great Glen Way.

If you’re new to multi-day trekking or just looking for a scenic adventure in the Highlands, this might just be the trail for you.
