Walking the West Highland Way trail in Scotland from Rowardennan to Inversnaid. This is the second half of day 3 of my Scotland hiking trip.
This is a touch section of the West Highland Way -it's very rocky, and the rocks can be steep and slippery. Get a good look at these hard parts of the West Highland Way in this video.
Here's what you'll see:
I leave Inversnaid after having a bite to eat on a bench with a view of Loch Lomond. There were still beautiful streams and waterfalls, but the trail gets a lot rocky. Some scrambling is required, up and down rocks and boulders.
There are big ferns that lean across the trail, grabbing hold of you as you walk by. Eventually I reach the end of Loch Lomond.
There's a quick tour of Doune Bothy - one of the Scottish shelters for hikers.
When I make it to Inverarnan, I stay at The Drover's Inn -one of the most haunted inns in Britain. It's been there for over 300 years and was a popular rest spot for the cattle herders (called drovers here).
I have an AMAZING meal - food always tastes better after hiking! I hang up two days worth of wet clothing in my room which smells terrible, and I can't open the windows because of midges. But it's great to relax in a good size room with a nice bed. I don't see or hear any ghosts since I'm too tired to be bothered by them.
And guess what - I made it through a whole day without falling!
I'm an American and a solo woman hiker who walked the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Fort William. This is a beautiful trail, and safe to do for solo hikers. It was much more 'civilized' than I'm accustomed to on my hiking and backpacking trips! This was my first trip to Scotland.
