Torridon guide

Please select your preferred Industry

Torridon is an area of outstanding natural beauty situated around the sea lochs of Torridon & Shieldaig and inland to Kinlochewe. Its combination of rock and water, changing seasons and moods make this an awe-inspiring place to visit. A paradise for walkers: lochside rambles; remote majestic corries; a traverse of Beinn Alligin; the Pinnacle Ridge on Liathach. Red Deer, Golden & Sea Eagles and Otters are just some of the wildlife here. An exciting playground for the young and inquisitive: stony and sandy beaches; castles; whale watching. Torridon is an ideal base for exploring the west coast of Scotland. What to do in and around Torridon Walking, rambling or chilling Torridon is an area of mountain and sea. There is plenty for everyone right here on the doorstep that involves nothing more than a pair of stout shoes and an active imagination. For many, the comfort of doing nothing more than sitting and soaking up the atmosphere is all the holiday they need. For the more adventurous Torridon boasts some of the most dramatic and beautiful of Scotland's mountains, corries and lochs. Your efforts to reach the more remote areas may be rewarded by encounters with red deer, mountain hare, ptarmigan, ravens or even a tantalising glimpse of a golden eagle. From our shores you are likely to see otters, seals or even porpoises and dolphins. For those seeking a better knowledge of the geology and nature of the place there are two local information centres. Torridon also makes an excellent base for those who would like to explore further afield and touring is a popular activity.

This will inevitably take you south to Applecross, Lochcarron, Plockton, Kyle of Lochalsh, Dornie, and Glenelg. To the north lies Gairloch, Inverewe, Aultbea, Dundonnell and Ullapool. There are castles, ancient brochs, gardens, beaches, and local crafts to sample along the way. There are a number of local operators offering boat trips. These are largely based in Gairloch, a one hour drive to the north. On a calm day why not book onto a wildlife cruise with a good chance of seeing seals, porpoises, dolphins and whales as well as a wide range of seabirds. You could also take a trip on a sailing boat and gain some experience at the helm, or why not go out on a working fishing boat to experience the local fisherman's way of life. For something different visit the historical island of Isle Maree on Loch Maree.
