The
East Highland Way is a long-distance walking route starting from Fort William and running north-east for 132 km (82 miles) to Aviemore.
The path follows the River Spean upstream through Spean Bridge to the eastern end of Loch Laggan. A little further, near Feagour, the it crosses the east-west watershed at the strategic location of an ancient hill-fort, Dun da Lamh, located above the headwaters of the River Spey. From here the route descends gradually through Newtonmore and Kingussie to Aviemore, with scenic deviations to the north and south of Strathspey.
