3 hikers seriously injured after falling on "tortuous up-and-down" section of Scotland's famous West Highland Way

Image provided to Facebook by Loch Lomond Rescue Boat show the rescue of hikers injured on the West Highland Way July 22, 2025.

Three hikers sustained serious injuries after falling on a rocky section of the West Highland Way that's often considered the most demanding section of the famous long-distance path.

The hikers were reportedly navigating the trail along the eastern bank of Loch Lomond near Ivow Island on July 22 when they fell down a steep drop. The stretch of trail, which is characterized by a rocky path with crags and boulders before dropping steeply down to the loch, is only accessible by foot or boat.
