West Higland Way Diversion

For any of our hostellers walking, or planning to walk, The West Highland Way this week please note that you may find slight diversions in place at Killearn.

Following a leak in a water main on the line of the West Highland Way, a temporary diversion has been out in place, starting at Station Road, in order that the necessary repairs can be undertaken.

Please note that the original intention was for a shorter route using the fields alongside the Way for the diversion but the recent weather, particularly the rain, has resulted in the adoption of a slightly longer, but very much drier, alternative.

It is anticipated that the repair should take only a few days and that the diversion can be lifted by the weekend (12th/13th September 2009).

For general information about the West Highland Way please visit the main website.

Remember our hostels which are on-route and can provide you with a low-cost, convenient and comfortable place to get dry and well-rested!
