Facility information

Instantly recognisable for a reason that’s difficult to pin down, the twin-Munro massif of Beinn Alligin is one of Scotland’s great free-standing peaks, launching from the Torridon landscape with equal spectacle as nearby monsters Liathach and Beinn Eighe. A decapitated cone of horizontal sandstone ledges over Torridon’s characteristic, vertically-plunging precipices, the precipitous crescent ridge leading from Tom na Gruagaich is hill-walking at its most awe-inspiring. 

Best route: a complete traverse, clockwise from Coire Mhic Nobuil.

    Did this in may 08 in spectacularly clear weather. Very busy on a good day as challenging but accessible and carpark can get full early. Most seem to go over the horns first, but prefer these on the route down myself, the drama builds as you approach them. Great day out.
