Glen Torridon
Glen Torridon Review
The scenic spectacle of Glen Torridon lies east of Shieldaig. Some say that Glen Torridon has the finest mountain scenery in Scotland. It consists mainly of the long gray quartzite flanks of Beinn Eighe and Liathach, with its distinct ridge profile that looks like the keel of an upturned boat.
Torridon Visitor Center. The National Trust for Scotland operates a visitor center that explains the ecology and geology of the area. A small deer museum has displays on these quintessentially Scottish beasts. A896, Shieldaig. 01445/791221. www.nts.org.uk/property/torridon. £3. Visitor center Easter-Sept., daily 10-6; museum daily 9-5.
