The village of Torridon sits on the shore of Upper Loch Torridon, at the foot of Liathach. The mountains of Beinn Alligin, Beinn Damph and the Beinn Eighe nature reserve are all within easy reach.
The location is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, walking, climbing, mountaineering, cycling, kayaking, photography, sea fishing, bird watching or simply enjoying the views.
Torridon is just over one hour's drive from Inverness, the capital of the Highlands which is easily reached by air or rail.
