The Torridon Hills surround Torridon village in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The name is usually applied to the mountains to the north of Glen Torridon. These are all made of a type of sandstone, known as Torridonian sandstone, which over time has become eroded to produce the unique characteristics of the Torridon hills. Each of the Torridon Hills sits very much apart from each other, and they are often likened to castles.

  • The Torridon Hills surround Torridon village in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The name is usually applied to the mountains to the north of Glen Torridon. These are all made of a type of sandstone, known as Torridonian sandstone, which over time has become eroded to produce the unique characteristics of the Torridon hills. Each of the Torridon Hills sits very much apart from each other, and they are often likened to castles. They have steep sides, and broken summit crests, riven into many pinnacles. There are many steep gullies running down the terraced sides. The summit ridges provide excellent scrambling, and are popular with hillwalkers and mountaineers. 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 Hills between Glen Torridon and Strath Carron share much of the splendour and character of the main hills: Beinn Liath Mhòr Sgorr Ruadh Maol Cheann-dearg Beinn Damh An Ruadh-stac Fuar Tholl
  • Torridon Hills er en gruppe fjell rundt landsbyen Torridon i Highland i Skottland. Navnet brukes særlig om fjellene nord for Glen Torridon. Fjellene er hovedsakelig dannet av torridiansk sandstein, som gjennom erosjon har gitt et spesielt furet særpreg til fjellene. Det er betydelig avstand mellom toppene, som har bratte sider med terrasser og oppbrutte rygger med mange spisser. Det er en rekke dype kløfter nedover sidene. Ryggene er godt egnet for fjellvandring og klyving, og mange steder kreves det en viss klatrekunnskap. De mest kjente fjellene er: Liatlach Beinn Eighe Beinn Alligin Beinn Dearg Det finnes også noen mindre fjell mellom Glen Torridon og Strath Carron som har samme særpreg: Beinn Liath Mhòr Sgorr Ruadh Maol Chaen-dearg Beinn Damh
