    Greetings. Walked it last year in August/September. My first Long Distance Hike and my first time in Scotland. Can highly recommend it. I am still proud about my adventure and I am really glad I have my WHW-Passport and other merch to keep my memory alive. Thank you for constantly keeping this trail in order for hikers. Greetings from Poland.

    I walked the WHW last summer. Thank you very much for making this trail possible and keeping it alive. It was my very first time in Scotland and my first long distance hike. Will return this May to walk the little brother of WHW, the Rob Roy Way. Looking forward. Greetings from Poland.

    My family had a Carbeth hut in the 60/70s until we sold it. The Hutter in front of us had a cat who had kittens and named them Penny, Tuppence, Thruppence and Foupence. My two girls wanted one and chose Penny. We had her for 25 years. Great memories. .
