About Torridon Munros
Torridon contains arguably the finest mountains in Scotland. Liathach, Beinn Eighe, and Beinn Alligin form a trio of Torridonian sandstone peaks that are unlike anything else in Britain — massive, terraced mountains with quartzite-capped summits, deep corries, and ridges that demand respect. The rock here is among the oldest on Earth, over 750 million years old.
Liathach is the centrepiece: a two-mile ridge with the notorious Am Fasarinen pinnacles providing the most serious scrambling on any Munro outside Skye. Beinn Eighe's Triple Buttress is one of the great sights of the Scottish mountains, while Beinn Alligin offers a more accessible but still dramatic horseshoe. The views across Upper Loch Torridon to the mountains are considered among the finest in the Highlands.
Highlights: Liathach is one of Scotland's most imposing mountains. Torridonian sandstone is over 750 million years old.
