TORRIDON: SHELDAIG TO KINLOCHEWE


The very name of Torridon is a clarion call, a mecca for hillwalkers throughout Scotland. The magnificent sandstone mountains that give this district its reputation are huge, brooding monoliths whose pinnacled crests give memorable expeditions.

Impressive, bare Glen Torridon runs between these peaks from Kinlochewe down to the coast. Here, the landscape changes completely as the great fjord of Loch Torridon is bordered by pinewoods and beautiful vistas. Picturesque Shieldaig and Diabaig are quiet refuges with great coastal walks.
