A trip to Torridon, Friday Feb 19, 2010

A prospect of Loch Maree from the top of Glen Dochart

 

Ben Eighe above Kinlochewe

 

Ben Eighe from Glen Torridon

 

First view of Liathach

 

Looking west down Glen Torridon

 

Sgurr Dubh (the Black Peak, but not today) by Loch Clair

 

Nearing Liathach

 

Ben Eighe from the south, steaming gently in the shun

 

Torridon village . . .

 

 

 

 

. . . on Loch Torridon

 

 

 

A view of Liathach and Torridon Village from the south shore

 

 

Ben Alligin next door.

 

On the road to Sheildaig . . .

 

. . . the loch is a mirror.

 

Looking back to Liathach

 

Sheildaig from the road to Applecross

 

And a last Loch Torridon panorama . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

Farewell to Liathach

 

Climbing the Bealach na Ba (the Pass of the Cattle) out of Applecross

 

Approaching the summit of the pass at 2000ft . . .

 

. . . revealing an awesome panorama of the West Highland peaks

 

 

 

From the summit the road switchbacks down to sea level at Loch Kishorn . . .

 

 

 

A final glance over the shoulder at the huge Cioch buttress

 

Leaving the coast and heading up Glen Carron towards home . . .

 

. . . in the glen just beyond these hills.
