Torridon

Tiny village in a scenically breathtaking spot

Loch Torridon on a calm summers morning

The tiny village of Torridon has a premier spot at the head of an eponymous sea loch that's flanked by the rugged outlines of various mighty mountains: the red 750-million-year-old sandstone Beinn Alligin, Ben Dearg, Liathach and Beinn Eighe. These are amoung the exceptional number and variety of hiking options (including easier ones) at walkhighlands.co.uk.

Food & lodging

The options in and around Torridon include five-star country house hotel The Torridon; $$$, which offers upmarket dining at its 1887 restaurant (tasting menu’s & local ingredients) and reasonably-priced bar food at the Bo & Muc restaurant. It also has an elegant whisky bar and serves very refined high teas. The Torridon also runs The Stables, a more mid-priced accommodation alternative.
