Beinn Alligin and the Horns of Alligin

Last walk of the year for me and another cracker following An Teallach a couple of weeks before. Parked at the car park just past the bridge where there is plenty of spaces. The path starts immediately over the road through the trees.

The path upwards

The path is obvious and easy going all the way to the first summit from the car park and allows you to soak in the incredible Torridon scenery.

Having completed both Munros, it would be a crime not to continue on over the horns.

Looking back at the end of the day

Thoroughly enjoyed this walk, some nice gentle scrambling over the horns, none of which I felt was particularly exposed, whilst the bypass path looked more iffy, particularly if it was wet.
