~ Glen Torridon, Coulin, Beinn Eighe ~

Glen Torridon, which runs some 15 miles from the shores of Loch Torridon to Kinlochewe passes both the beautiful Coulin Estate and the Beinn Eighe nature reserve (which is the largest in Britain, covering over 10,000 acres - stretching from loch to mountain top).

An excellent track runs south from Glen Torridon, past Loch Clair, Loch Coulin, and eventually into Stratcarron. It is a right of way due to a Legal battle in the 1930's. Originally cut for the use of the proprietor of Coulin Lodge to gain access to the railway in Glen Carron, it offers a beautiful walk through empty country, with Carn Breac on one side and Beinn Liath Mhor on the other As you leave Glen torridon, take a moment to glance back at the superb view of Beinn Eighe over Loch Clair.
