On September 18-20, the IAT held its first Annual General Meeting in Western Europe, at Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Scotland. It was here in 2010 that the West Highland Way, became the first section of the International Appalachian Trail in Europe.
After opening welcome and introductions at park headquarters
the three-day event began with an afternoon trek on the future John Muir Way, an east-west coast to coast trail which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, the 100th anniversary of the death of renowned Scottish American conservationist John Muir.
