Major Peaks
Although many peaks in the North-west highlands exhibit Torridon geology, the Torridon hills are generally considered only to be those in the Torridon Forest to the north of Glen Torridon. Specifically, these are:
- Liathach
- Beinn Eighe
- Beinn Alligin
- Beinn Dearg
- Baosbheinn
Hills between Glen Torridon and Strath Carron share much of the splendour and character of the main hills, although perhaps less of the drama:
- Beinn Liath Mhòr
- Sgorr Ruadh
- Maol Cheann-dearg
- Beinn Damh
- An Ruadh-stac
- Fuar Tholl
The Torridon Hills exhibit some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the British Isles, perhaps surpassed in grandeur only by the Cuillins of Skye.

“Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”

“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
