Glen Torridon Reflections
The sunlit Creag Dubh (900m) (upper right), is the easternmost summit on the Great Ridge of Beinn Dubh, which stretches off to the left (west) above. There are five other summits along the ridge before the final descent in the far distance. The entire ridge is estimated to take 10 hours to walk.
Beinn Eighe is a complex mountain massif in the Torridon area of the Highlands of Scotland. Two of its summits (not including Creag Dubh) are classified as Munros. The name Beinn Eighe comes from the Scottish Gaelic meaning File Mountain. It has a cap of Cambrian basal quartzite which gives the peaks of Beinn Eighe a distinctive light colour.
The massif partially seen on the far left of the image is the beginning of the Liathach ridge, which features another two Munros. The descent from the far end of that ridge is directly into Torridon.
Loch Clair is to the south of the A896, which passes along Glen Torridon below Beinn Eighe on its way from Kinlochewe in the east to Torridon in the west.
This was taken in late afternoon as the clouds moved in from the west. Even though it was October, the midges were in abundance here, so despite nets, we didn't stay long.
