Review
There is a real need for alternative routes and The East Highland Way offers not only an alternative, but a highly attractive and challenging walk in its own right. --CAMERON McNEISH, Strathspey Herald
I think the genius of the book is this - Kevin Langan... has single handedly managed to devise a long distance route which should give pleasure and offer healthy exercise to thousands of people. I congratulate him on it, and bags I first go... --MARK STEPHEN, BBC Radio Scotland's Out of Doors
A fantastic walk with spectacular views and so much historical interest. A 'cannae no walk' in our opinion. --JULIE DEANS, Gemini Walks

Product Description
The East Highland Way is a detailed and descriptive guide to the route developed by Kevin Langan in 2007. Beginning in Fort William and culminating in Aviemore, the trail forms a new link route between the northern end of the West Highland Way and the southern end of the Speyside Way. In addition, the route joins with the Great Glen Way at its southern point in Fort William, making this an exciting new challenge for seasoned walkers and amateurs alike. Not only an illustrated route description, Langan also details the plethora of wildlife to be spotted along the way in each section of the walk. The book also provides information on the various historical attractions with which the route intersects, including Old Inverlochy Castle and Kingussie's Ruthven Barracks. Langan's route has been optimised to engage with accommodation where possible, and these accommodation options are included in the guide.

The East Highland Way Treasure Map,
By
This review is from: The East Highland Way: Fort William to Aviemore (Paperback)
I have just completed the East Highland Way using this book as my only guide, and it shows you exactly where to walk step-by-step. In fact it's fun reading the step-by-step instructions, like you're following a treasure map or something. It has recently been updated too (2011 edition), thus accurate.The East Highland Way is a brilliant walk. A relatively new long distance path, it is becoming increasing well-known and popular amongst walkers, although its main charm is that you are still able to enjoy walking along gorgeous lochs and lochans, and through glens, without meeting another soul for miles and miles (you get the lucky feeling that you have all these places to yourself for the day). B&B and hostel owners will tell you however, of other walkers who also passed through a day or two before you. The walks along the route are not difficult or demanding, so there is usually time left at the end of each day to still do some more sight-seeing. This walk guide also provides information on other things to do and places to visit in or around each area. The East Highland Way takes you through areas in the Highlands where you will be most likely to see protected species, such as capercaille, red squirrels, and pine martens. This book also contains information on these birds and animals, and how you can help if you spot any of them (e.g. report wildcat sightings to help with population estimates of wildcats in Scotland). Buy the book, do the walk, simples!

East Highland Way a great guidebook for a great walk!,
This review is from: The East Highland Way: Fort William to Aviemore (Paperback)
Our business is walking holidays and the East Highland Way is one of our popular walks. The walk is not way marked and so the East Highland Way guidebook is an essential companion for our clients walking the Way. The book is water-proof - a must for a Scottish walk and pocket size for easy access and reference. The author, Kevin Langan, has gone to much effort to pack the book with excellent information on the history and wildlife that the East Highland Way passes through. The route notes are meticulous with OS grid references for each critical part of the trail. A must for the read even if you don't fancy the walk! PS it is a fabulous walk too!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical with background info,
This review is from: The East Highland Way: Fort William to Aviemore (Paperback)
This is a very good walking guide - detailed route descriptions backed up with lots of interesting information about the surrounding area. There are plenty of good quality photographs, invaluable tips on how to plan the logistics of the walk (like overnight stays and food shops), the graphics are modern and eye-catching and the book itself is small enough to fit in any rucksack side-pocket. Can't wait to do the walk this Easter!
