The Walking Route


The Walk Section of the Website

This part of the website provides access to information on each section of the walk, suggested means of breaking up the way into manageable sections, and ideas on accommodation and transportation options.

The Way has some options to suit differing walking times and preferences. A listing of all the possible variations is loaded and accessed by linking here, or by highlighting the section on the route map.

Grid Reference Route Instructions

To assist with the navigation Walking Support offers a comprehensive directional table giving you all the key decision points defined by O/S Grid Reference Numbers and detailing what to do at these points. To receive this table simply order and pay £2.90 on-line and you will then receive this document as an e-mail attachment once secure payment has been confirmed and notified to Walking Support / SCSuport Ltd.

The Way has an Official Guide Book and Route Map published by Rucksack Readers. This costs £10.99 and can be purchased on line on www.rucsacs.com or through a number of retail outlets in the Rob Roy Way area.

There is also an Official Rob Roy Way Video and this can be purchased from A J McKay Visual Production by e-mailing or accessing the details on this website.

We also provide some information on the complexity of the walk and the elements that we would recommend you plan for in advance of embarking on this route.
