    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.
