Packing List for West Highland Way

This packing list is the foundation of what you need for a multi-day hike in Scotland. You may need different or additional items depending on experience or preferences. As a guide, a total weight between 10-15% of your body weight is great, you should reassess your pack if over 20%.

Notes:

1. Synthetic insulation is much better for UK weather than down as it will keep you warm when wet

2. For campers especially, it is advised to treat gear/clothing with permethrin as ticks are an issue
