Welcome to the West Highland Way Trail Series—a special set of episodes from my latest long-distance hike across the Scottish Highlands.
I’ll be bringing you along day by day as I hike 100 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, sharing the real-time feels, stories, and behind-the-scenes moments from the trail.
Day 6 was full of unexpected ease and connection.
I hiked 12 miles from Bridge of Orchy to Kingshouse on a surprisingly smooth military road, powered by good trail conversation with a fellow solo hiker named Jane. The moody weather made the Scottish highlands feel extra dramatic, but the miles flew by—until a final soaking just before check-in.
Then it was time to lean into hotel luxury: a hot meal, a robe, a surprise gin and tonic setup, and yes, the awkward joy of eating dinner solo in a fancy restaurant.
In this episode:
- Easy trail miles and good conversation
- Misty mountain views and a final mile downpour
- Checking into a posh hotel with hiker funk
- Reflections on solo dinners, wet clothes & cultural quirks
🎧 Hit play for a soft landing after a fast solo hiking day on the West Highland Way.
