One of the most popular West Highland Way photo opportunities is at the finishing line in Fort William. This now-famous statue, simply called "Man with Sore Feet" was made by David Annand and has marked the end of WHW since 2010.

Resting you weary legs next to the statue of a man with sore feet, it is a moment of great pride and sense of achievement for having completed the trail. We love seeing your grinning faces, so to celebrate the many successful walks on the West Highland Way, here are your "Man with Sore Feet" moments. Thank you for sharing them.
