This route is surprisingly good, for one so little used. To describe it accurately, it can be broken down into two parts... Inverness to after the Lairig Gru, which is quite a challenging section, with miles of rough under foot undulating grouse moors, busy road walking and of course the Gru itself, which is miles of boulder fields etc. The second section on to Blair Atholl is easy almost flat riverside tracks for around 30 miles. Be aware, overall this is NOT for novice walkers!! If you want a quiet walk, this is the one. we didnt see anyone before Aviemore!! 👍😁

Completed solo in 4.5 days in March 2022, wildcamping throughout. Definitely take the high routes on the north side of the loch, and be prepared for the south side to have a completely different character. The Hiiker map is not currently accurate on the south side so rather use the South Loch Ness Trail map rather than follow the 360 one past Fort Augustus. A moderate hike, but accessible to most fitness levels. Regular places to stop for food, water or resupply even though the spaces in between can be remote with limited phone signal.

can be challenging with narrow cliff walks. also some property owners make it difficult with lots of barb wire especially after whaligoe. I didn't like the road walking after scotsburn
