The Great Glen Way – Hiking and Camping Equipment Hire for Your Journey
Planning to walk or cycle the Great Glen Way from Fort William to Inverness? Whether you’re tackling the full 79 miles or just exploring a section, having the right gear makes all the difference — and you don’t need to buy it all.
At Scotlander, we offer affordable outdoor equipment hire for hikers and campers exploring Scotland. From lightweight tents and sleeping bags to hiking poles, stoves, and waterproof layers, we make it easy to travel light and stay comfortable on your Great Glen adventure.
Scotland’s Classic Long-Distance Route
The Great Glen Way follows a natural fault line through the Highlands, linking Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, and Loch Ness. It’s one of Scotland’s most scenic routes, popular with both walkers and cyclists, and offers a mix of forest tracks, canal paths, and lochside views.
While well-marked and accessible, the weather here can change quickly, and having the right kit can turn a tough day into an enjoyable one.
Hire Lightweight Camping Gear for the Trail
If you plan to camp along the way, Scotlander can supply lightweight tents, three-season sleeping bags, and compact gas stoves — ideal for multi-day travel between Fort William and Inverness.
Renting gear means you can fly or travel light without sacrificing comfort, and it’s a great option for those new to long-distance walking.
Handy Equipment for Day Sections or Short Trips
Many visitors walk just part of the Great Glen Way — such as the beautiful stretch from Fort Augustus to Invermoriston along Loch Ness.
If you’re doing a shorter trip, you can rent daypacks, hiking poles, and waterproof clothing to stay prepared without overpacking.
Even simple items like portable stoves or camping chairs can make a quick rest stop or lochside lunch more enjoyable.
