It's a post. I'm not sure how you're meant to review a wee obelisk but hey ho. There's a water refill station right beside it with plenty of benches so you can pack and repack your bag easily. There's a Spar which will help with last minute supplies (and sells the 'passport' too). There's a Greggs and a Costa and a Subway right beside it too for a quick bite before heading off. There's a whisky shop round the corner to grab a bottle for your walk (if you're setting off after 10am that is), three pharmacies to grab necessities from also. And it's about three minutes walk tops from the train station. So as far as obelisks go that mark the start of a hiking trail its well serviced. Most locals will not have a problem taking your photo either, so feel...

The West Highland Way was a stunning long-distance hiking trail that spans across the Scottish Highlands, offering breathtaking views of the rugged landscape and picturesque villages. I recently completed the trail, starting from Milngavie and ending in Fort William, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The path we took, starting from Milngavie and ending in Fort William, was a seven-days experience, well-planned and provided us with a great mix of challenging hikes, stunning scenery, and comfortable accommodations. Overall, I would highly recommend the West Highland Way to anyone looking for a challenging but rewarding hiking adventure in the Scottish Highlands. It was truly an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for...

You've got to be totally prepared before attempting the WHW. The starting town is very weird and not at all what I expected from my research. The first 12 miles are easily the worst, in terms of camping, views and amenities. The views are comparable to any local farmland with lots of fences or houses on either side of the track. No real amenities until the first town of Drymen. We took our own luggage which I would say is only for the diehards it slowed us down and took us double the time to reach anywhere. Next time I'm going to try the luggage transfer which we saw a lot of. If you're simply looking for a wild camping experience, skip the national park and...

The West Highland way is a great choice for seasoned trekkers as well as for those who are new to long distance hiking. It is usually hiked in 5-8 days. The trail has several rougher sections and some steeper ups and downs but the grade is generally quite mild. Accommodation is available along the way, though it’s recommended to arrange hotels several months in advance as they tend to get fully booked, even during shoulder season. There are many places to wild camp for those who enjoy spending the night in their tent. Scenery is absolutely beautiful. Personally I liked the section past Kinghouse the best but every day brought some pretty nice views and experiences.

HOGSWEED!!! I’m not sure why I did not see it mentioned, maybe the direction I went but it stopped my entire hike dead in its tracks.. had to go to the dr, bless Scotland for free healthcare, prescriptions, free too. And then pain like I’ve never felt before, burning, pins and needles, swollen etc. Wear gloves and cover your skin! I was disappointed it ruined my hike and I had to stop but for what i did see.. so beautiful, I’m so heartbroken 💔 I couldn’t finish!! Get compeed (duoderm) and cover those feet!! The woman in the oak tree village shop called it, said it was likely the hogsweed, called the dr in Drymen and was so helpful.
