Scottish Highlands
The untamed wilderness of the Highlands is ideal walking territory – wooded glens, a rugged coastline, dramatic peaks, majestic lochs and misty isles. The spectacular scenery is best washed down with a wee dram from one of the region’s fine distilleries. If you’re looking for a taste of the Highlands, browse tips on how best to explore it.

    Walking in the Torridon area

    Posted by Webyork 1 June 2007

    Torridon is one of the most dramatic areas on Scotland's west coast. The mountains here are not the rolling ridges seen elsewhere in Britain - these are completely separate and individual, gaunt, bare and incredibly steep and imposing peaks. The first time I arrived to camp, a herd of red deer swam across the deep river. The landscape is so otherworldly that I wouldn't have been suprised if dinosaurs came roaming round the corner. What a place.

    At the foot of the glen is Loch Torridon, a great fjord, where the landscape is softened by ancient pinewoods.
