Hiking the <strong>West Highland Way<\/strong> is possibly one of the <strong>best Travel Experiences in Scotland<\/strong>.  <\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p>Here are 10 reasons why you should visit it:<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>1. Meeting people on the West Highland Way<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the tour you will meet new people, people of different cultures, age and ideology. A unique opportunity to open your mind and share experiences both on the route and at the end of the stage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why many people are encouraged to do the <strong>West Highland Way<\/strong> unaccompanied, because naturally, new people will join you on your way and you will continue to meet them in part or all of the route.<\/span><strong>You will never feel alone.<\/strong><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a very nice feeling of companionship, exchange of experiences and sensations with someone unknown that will surely end in a beautiful friendship that will last for years.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are <strong>traveling the<\/strong> route with <strong>family<\/strong> or <strong>friends<\/strong>, it is a great opportunity to connect or reconnect with the person next to you. Learn a lot from her and strengthen the relationship.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>2. Cultural trip and practice English<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the tour you can practice English, Scottish words and even Gaelic! <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is nothing like practicing a language to learn it. This route is very famous internationally and nationally, you will meet many Scots of all ages doing the route.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let&#8217;s not forget, the <strong>West Highland Way<\/strong> really is a <strong>historic road<\/strong>, up in t<strong>he Highlands<\/strong> the road where after the <strong>Battle of Culloden<\/strong> in 1746, ending the <strong>Jacobite<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell that to <strong>Outlander<\/strong> fans!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Loch Lomond<\/strong> area has always been a place of conflict, where the <strong>clans<\/strong> clash with the farmers of the lowlands. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will walk through <strong>Glen Coe Valley<\/strong>, very close to the site of the terrible <strong>massacre of Glen Coe<\/strong> in 1692 at the beginning of the <strong>Jacobite uprisings<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you will end the route at <strong>Fort William<\/strong>, historically known as one of the forts used by the Redcoats and Jacobite prison.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that enjoying the culture is also enjoying the food. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get ready for some good <strong>haggis<\/strong> at the end of a stage, or if you&#8217;re brave, to have it for breakfast.<\/span> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>3. Landscapes<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The West Highland Way runs through the heart of Scotland and is a route full of contrasts, in only 154 km you will experience walking through lowlands, fertile soil, passing by lochs, a tectonic fault and crossing breathtaking valleys, until you reach the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, in Fort William.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, however, from outside the bus or car.  <\/span><\/p><p>Some of th Highlights:<\/p><p><strong>Loch Lomond National Park<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Glen Coe Valley<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Rannoch Mor<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Glen Nevis<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes when we travel we are in a hurry and we don&#8217;t have much time to admire the views of the landscape and enjoy it. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons why people decide to repeat is to be able to admire again these beautiful landscapes. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you are a <strong>photography lover<\/strong>&#8230; you will be amazed!<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>4. Get close to nature and wildlife.<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today we live in an urban environment for far too long. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is confirmed that going for a walk and being in contact with nature makes you feel good. A walk in the middle of nature breathing fresh air will make you feel like new and in a better mood.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most satisfying moments I remember from the route is walking in the middle of the forest on the shores of Loch Lomond, in silence, listening to the sounds of different birds. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a bird or animal watcher, consider taking binoculars with you because the trail is full of <strong>deer, eagles, red squirrels, mountain goats, sheep <\/strong>and if you are lucky, <strong>Scottish<\/strong> cows, known as highland cows, or hairy cows. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not a dangerous route as far as animals are concerned. In Scotland the largest predator is the fox. There are no bears or wolves.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>5. Detox from technology<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I propose that you join the challenge to disconnect. That the cell phone is only used to take pictures. Take advantage of this experience to really disconnect and connect once a day. Would you dare?<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>6. Personal challenge to reach a goal<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An arch in the village of Milngavie begins the route, from there each step marks a personal growth and when you finish the route in Fort William, gives a feeling of satisfaction and feeling accomplished that many people decide to repeat.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have been able to start and finish a <strong>personal challenge<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to surpass oneself, and that with each step we take from what we think was our limit is what makes us grow and surpass ourselves as people.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This personal growth heals the anxiety and stress we are exposed to on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the remedies is to simply go for a walk. Imagine this multiplied by 7 days where your goal is to walk. Which gives way to the next reason.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>7. Finding yourself<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>West Highalnd Way is a journey for the soul<\/strong>. Sometimes, even if it involves sweat and effort, it can be much more satisfying than many luxury trips.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spending time with yourself, enjoying solitude, knowing more about yourself, getting to know yourself, meditating and why not, reflecting. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many travelers find along the way the answers to questions that preoccupy them in their daily lives.  <\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This adventure gives you the opportunity to go on a journey of self-discovery.  <\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>8. Get in shape<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the <strong>West Highland Way<\/strong> is not a high mountain route, it requires <strong>previous physical preparation<\/strong> before the route.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to prepare for walking the West Highland Way is to simply get out and walk. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The objective is that before starting the route, you are used to walking the daily kilometers of the route, which is an average of 20km per day.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that if I&#8217;m honest, between the beautiful scenery and the adrenaline of knowing what you&#8217;re going to find later, these 20km fly by.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, <strong>the more you are used to walking, the more you will enjoy the route<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>9. A sustainable way to travel<\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The West Highland Way<\/strong> is one of the <strong>most sustainable trips<\/strong> you can do in <strong>Scotland<\/strong>.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only transportation you will take will be the train to the village of Milngavie, where the route begins, and the return trip from Fort William to Edinburgh or Glasgow.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest&#8230;. This gives a feeling of absolute freedom.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, along the way you will find unique eating places and supply stores, which will help support local Scottish businesses.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The West Highland way is an <strong>economical vacation<\/strong> as you only spend on food and accommodation.  <\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the last reason&#8230;..<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>10.  <b>And why not? For your sense of adventure<\/b><\/h2><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a fairly simple motif but one of my favorites. A different experience full of adrenaline where you will discover the wildest Scotland.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly a new way to travel, in which more and more people are betting on trekking trips.<\/span><\/p><p> <\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do the West Highland Way <strong>alone<\/strong> or in a <strong>group<\/strong>, or with an <strong>agency<\/strong> that will take care of booking accommodations, moving your luggage and have your support at all times en route. help you with everything you need so you can travel the West Highland way without worries. <\/span><\/p><h2> <\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think?
