This variety of environments provides habitats for a diverse range of wildlife species, both flora and fauna. Some species are more common than others and some are rarely seen.

You'll view gentle scenery on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. Passing highland cattle in the fields, the route winds up through forest and across the moors up to Conic Hill, which from the summit gives great views over the loch, and across the islands there. This marks the boundary of the Highland fault and officially the start of the Highlands. The way drops down to Balmaha by the water, and then winds its way towards Rowardennan along the Loch shore with tree-framed views. Rowardennan marks the road head, and a convenient place to stay for the night.

Meals

Breakfast

Accommodation

  • Distance

    13 miles

Today's journey leads you along the Ben Lomond's shadow, predominantly tracing the path along the edge of the Loch. While there are no daunting inclines to conquer, you'll encounter a few brief, steep rises and descents. Along the way, you'll pass by Rob Roy's prison and cave, locations where he sought refuge during challenging times and detained prisoners at his discretion. Consider pausing for a refreshment break at the Inversnaid hotel before proceeding to Ardleish. Here, you have the option to hoist a buoy on a pole to signal the ferryman's attention. For a nominal fee of approximately £4 (not included), the ferryman will pick you up and transport you to the hotel on the Loch's western side. Alternatively, if you prefer a more extended route or if inclement weather makes the water crossing less favourable, you can opt to continue to Beinglas Farm or the Inverarnan Drover's Inn.

Crianlarich is nestled beneath another prominent peak, Ben Mor. The valley route will lead you past the historic St. Fillan's Priory, connected to both Robert The Bruce and Rob Roy. Your path will take you through the Dalrigh moraines, the very site where Bruce faced defeat in 1306, and onward to the former mining settlement of Tyndrum, known for its discovery of a gold seam. Continuing on, you'll pass the imposing peaks of Ben Lui and Ben Dorain before reaching the Bridge of Orchy, where you can savour a quick dram. Finally, your journey leads you to Loch Tulla (Inveroran), a picturesque lake framed by ancient Scots pines, remnants of the ancient Caledonian forest.

As you progress, you'll pass by Ba Bridge, often regarded as the most remote point along the route. The vistas before you continually widen, revealing breathtaking views of once-glacier-filled corries. It's not uncommon to spot deer and witness a captivating interplay between the rugged terrain, serene lakes, majestic mountains, and the ever-changing sky.

The military road eventually descends to the old drovers' inn, situated near the Gateway to Glencoe. Here, you'll find yourself in the shadow of what may be the most awe-inspiring mountain of your journey, Buachaille Etive Mor, often referred to as the shepherd of Etive Mor.

As for accommodations, please note that Kings House requires a minimum two-night stay if your reservation includes a Saturday. In such cases, you'll be accommodated at the Glencoe Mountain Resort in Microlodges, equipped with one double bed and two single beds. Facilities include shower and toilet blocks, as well as a café open from 9 am to 8:30 pm (serving hot food until 7:30 pm). Remember to bring your own sleeping bag, liner, and towel for your stay.

Don't be discouraged; this section of the West Highland Way is well-engineered and offers a surprisingly manageable ascent. Along the way, you'll be treated to breathtaking vistas that provide a splendid perspective of the terrain you've covered thus far.

Spending Money

As you plan your holiday budget, it's essential to account for expenses such as drinks, meals not covered in the holiday price, entrance fees not included, optional local excursions, and any souvenirs or additional services like laundry.

If your holiday does not include dinners (see itinerary) we recommend budgeting an additional £25-30 per day.

Tipping

Tips are not included in the holiday price. Although entirely at your own discretion, tipping is an important aspect of tourism and hospitality life and expectations are fairly high.  We strongly recommend when receiving good service you make a tip to the local supplier.

Unlike many other tour operators, we take pride in our unique approach. Ramble Worldwide channels its surplus profits back into various outdoor, walking-related, or environmental conservation projects in the UK through our own trust. When you choose us, you contribute to this impactful initiative.

The Ramble Worldwide Outdoor Trust is passionate about making the outdoors more accessible for more people from all communities. We grant funds to many organisations and have recently partnered with Mind Over Mountains, Adaptive Grand Slam, and other groups to create an enduring impact on people’s lives and to support them to enjoy the outdoors. In addition, the Trust makes many small grants to local organisations such as Ramblers Groups, Walkers are Welcome, My kind of Books and recently provided a small grant, via his scouting group, to enable a young man whose family had fallen on hard times to complete his DofE Gold award.

Patron of the Trust is the renowned explorer, Mark Wood. Over 20 years Mark has undertaken expeditions to some of the most remote parts of our planet. Our shared values make for an exciting partnership, and we believe that by standing shoulder to shoulder we can encourage people from all communities to enjoy being active outdoors in whatever way suits them best.
