NH3404 : The Great Glen Way north of Cullochy Lock

taken 7 years ago, near to Aberchalder, Highland, Scotland

The Great Glen Way north of Cullochy Lock
The Great Glen Way north of Cullochy Lock
The start of a four and a half mile section of well made footpath/cyclepath alongside the canal between Aberchalder and Fort Augustus. Pleasant enough on a sunny day such as this; but somewhat monotonous.
Great Glen Way

Scotland's fourth waymarked National Long Distance Walking Route is 73 to 79 miles long (depending on route variation), and follows the Great Glen fault between Fort William and Inverness. First opened in 2002, more scenic route variations were added in 2014.
The Way is certainly pretty, well surfaced and waymarked, and interesting in terms of the canal history. But long stretches of the path are amongst coniferous forestry or by the side of the Caledonian Canal, and tend to be somewhat monotonous. Only the higher route alternatives give long views and a better sense of the Highlands.
