The West Highland Way is an unbroken 95 mile path from Milnagavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, along the shores of Loch Lomond and up through Glencoe and Rannoch Moor to Fort William. It is well signposted throughout to the extent that a map is barely needed, is well populated with camp sites, hostels and bunkhouses. The scenery is a cross section of all the beauty of Scotland and you walk through the heart of Scotland's economic and cultural heritage. From Ardlui in the South to Bridge of Orchy (not far from Fort William) the railway tracks the path, so you can even bring the young and old.
The term simply implies that the establishment has a bar, usually open to non-residents as well. In remote locations especially there are plenty of Inns and Public Houses that have rooms available. Indeed they may be the only options for food and drink for miles around and can have very nice accommodation available. The only down-side to staying in an Inn or Pub is that you may not have complete quiet until after midnight and the bar has closed. Learn more about accommodation types
