Description

This is not a formal marked route but rather a challenging route for the experienced walker.

Starting from Banavie near Fort William the described route takes walkers through some of the wilder areas of the Northern and Western Highlands to Cape Wrath at the far North West corner of the Scottish mainland, passing stunning Sandwood Bay on the way. There are long stretches through wild country without accommodation so travelling with a tent or using bothies is essential.

A full description of the route is available in the Cicerone guide - North to the Cape: A Trek from Fort William to Cape Wrath.
