Torridon
Torridon
With some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Scotland, Torridon is a magnet for walkers, geologists and naturalists.
The estate includes some of Scotland's finest mountain scenery, comprising Liathach, 1,054m (3,456ft) which has seven tops and Beinn Alligin, 985m (3,230ft), composed mainly of Torridonian sandstone dating back 750 million years.
Routes to the high tops, and others along the coast, are detailed at the Countryside Centre. You’ll also find information about the wildlife on the estate, part of which is in the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.
There is also a Trust Countryside Centre.
Five of the Trust's 46 Munros can be found at Torridon (What is a Munro?).
