The East Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe Gaidhealtachd an Ear) is a long-distance walking route in Scotland that connects Fort William (56°49′04″N 5°06′39″W / 56.8178°N 5.1109°W / 56.8178; -5.1109 (East Highland Way, Fort William trailhead)) with the ski and mountain resort of Aviemore (57°11′24″N 3°49′45″W / 57.1899°N 3.8292°W / 57.1899; -3.8292 (East Highland Way, Aviemore trailhead)).^[1] The route was described by Kevin Langan in 2007. The name is derived from the fact that the route terminates in Aviemore at the eastern edge of Highland region. The EHW route takes in a varied and wild landscape through deep forest plantations, passing many highland lochs and negotiating unspoilt marshlands. The route also explores the ancient Caledonian forests of Inshriach. The walk is 82 miles (132 km) long.
