Help connect Gairloch

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Gairloch’s Slow Ways.

On the latter part of the route going north from the main road there is a big stony track up to the communication towers on the hill....
