The John O'Groats Trail crossing Golspie Burn
John O'Groats Trail
For detailed information and a route guide to the John O'Groats Trail see Link. In June 2018 the trail is "a work in progress", with the laudable aim of connecting the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way to the far north of Scotland via a 147 mile walking route from Inverness to John O'Groats. Unfortunately, unless the walker is able to 'wild camp', logistics preclude an inland route through the centre of the magnificent Highlands. Instead, the John O'Groats Trail sticks to the east coast "traversing shorelines, cliff tops, back lanes and footpaths of the Scottish Highlands."
