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.
