Great trail though the highlands of Scotland. Hard walking through bogs but amazing and rewarding views.

I decided on Scotland for this year's long distance hike because of John Muir and the hike named after him. I had read the reviews and knew there would be tarmac, but what I didn't know was the tarmac would be 80% - 85% of the hike. It killed my feet and I am an avid hiker. I honestly don't belive John Muir would want his name attached to this hike. I don't regret completing it, but I also won't recommend it. I was thankful for five nights off before starting the West Highland Way so my feet could recover. (Which they did and are doing great on this hike. 馃榿)

This was my first Munro (Scottish mountain over 3,000 feet) and a great climb. The trail is well maintained and doable for any reasonably fit person with good knees. The views were Spectacular, loved it!
