With some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Scotland, Torridon is a magnet for walkers, geologists and naturalists. The estate takes in Liathach, 1,054m (3,456ft)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. Look out for red deer, grazing Highland cattle, oystercatchers near the sea loch and golden eagles skimming the mountain-tops. If you’re very lucky, you may catch sight of a pine marten or otter. The hide near the seashore offers a perfect vantage point for viewing wildlife.
