Torridon is on my regular tour of the west coast of Scotland. Coming up from Plockton, and via Applecross the scenery with mighty Monroe mountains coming down to the shore is spectacular. Stay at the Torridon Inn, or book a cheaper B & B, but try to book a very posh meal at the Torridon Hotel. You will be very well looked after, but it is very expensive. Visit the Tourist Centre at the top of the loch. Useful info here. There is a single track road along the north shore, but it is very long, slow and hard work. When leaving you will carry on to Kinlochewe. The glen is delightful, with a stream rushing over its rocky course. The mountains tower above you and their size staggers the senses. Geologists will have a field au considering the complexity of the landscape. For example, the compressed sandstone from times when this part of the world was nearer the equator. Visit the Ben Eighe info centre on the road just outside Kinlochewe on the way to the coast. Don't take the sat nav route to Ullapool. You will miss all the delights of Gairloch, Poolewe and Gruinard Bay.

Britain’s first National Nature Reserve overlooking Loch Maree.
Really nice place to stop. Good information area and some nice trails outside. The scenery is beautiful here

This picturesque ramble starts by the shoreline, works past the church, with commanding views right and left to two Firths. Ignore the oil rigs. It slowly winds up hill, past a Neolithic rock hunting ground and pushes upwards quite steeply to reach a viewpoint, with one seat. Take sometime here to admire the view and look for dolphins, because this is the best viewpoint on the walk. There’s absolutely no view when you reach the small car park at the top!

A lovely drive - many superb views - driving requires care - we had a war crisp day with snow and frozen waterfalls - really enjoyed it - road was quiet for us - could be a hassle if busy.- all single track - it is all sealed.

A stunning exhibition of images from Scotland's Northwest Coast. Enjoy free coffee whilst browsing the gallery. Landscape and Wildlife Photographic Workshops. Photographic and canvas printing. Open every day 9am-5pm in summer. Please check winter opening times locally or on our website to avoid disappointment.
Outstanding photography, printed and framed in-house by two friendly and talented fellas, absolute pleasure to visit and meet them both. Located in stunning part of the West Coast, and just a stones throw from Applecross Inn.

We visited Garve and did the Two Bridges walk, and it was well worth the small detour to do so. I highly recommend this walk. It’s a simple loop round fairly easy going ground, with plenty lovely spots for a picnic and great photo ops. Thankfully we had a lovely dry day for our walk but think it would also be great when raining and in full spate.

Just a short walk from the main road on a well defined path (steep in places) opens to a well marked out viewing area and suspension bridge which affords you great views of the falls and the salmon leaping to climb it. Car park small and full of NW500 Campervans but well worth the stop.

A lovely place... a sand and pebble beach where you can walk along to Rosemarkie and e if you are lucky you can spot Dolphins (all year round?) and seals as well as multiple sea birds while looking over to Fort George. Also overlooked by a lighthouse. Busy at times with small carpark which gets very busy. A lovely place to spend a bit if time... dog friendly.

An award winning museum dedicated to the Picts and to displaying and interpreting the stunning examples of their sculptural art found in Rosemarkie, including the magnificent Rosemarkie cross-slab. The museum also cares for the George Bain Collection, which has been Recognised as being of National Significance, and is a Visit Scotland 4-star visitor attraction. The museum shop stocks high quality gifts with Celtic and Pictish themes. There are activities for children and videos to watch as well as a suite of interactive computer programmes.
An interesting little museum which is free to visit A beautiful collection of carved Pictish Stones Lots of interesting information and a good basic video on the Picts
