The West Highland Way Trust
helps to protect Scotland’s best-loved long-distance route
Celebrate 45 Years of the West Highland Way
In 2025, the West Highland Way celebrates its 45th anniversary. This website introduces the new West Highland Way Trust (Registered Charity SC053704), established to care for and protect Scotland’s most loved long-distance route. You can make a donation below to support the Trust and help keep the 96-mile trail in excellent condition for generations to come.
You can also explore the virtual exhibition, first created for the 40th anniversary in 2020, with new galleries added each year to celebrate the people, places and stories that make the Way so special.
Robert’s 100th Walk.
On 6th September, Robert Marshall completed his 100th West Highland Way walk. Robert kindly used this milestone walk to raise funds and awareness for the new West Highland Way Trust. You can still support this inspiring walk by donating at the Just Giving page.
Order an Official West Highland Way passport and celebrate your journey by recording your achievement with a stamp at the Passport Points along the route. You’ll receive a lanyard (made from recycled materials) and a waterproof pouch along with your official passport.
All profits from the West Highland Way Passport go directly to support the West Highland Way Trust, the charity that cares for Scotland’s most popular long-distance trail. The Trust’s purpose is simple – to maintain the path, protect the landscape and wildlife, and celebrate the heritage and communities along the 96 miles of the Way. Every passport sold helps keep the trail safe, sustainable and special for future generations.
