Torridon November 2008

Loch Torridon

This time my photo shoot takes me back to Torridon - an area of outstanding natural beauty situated around the sea lochs of Torridon and Shieldaig and inland to Kinlochewe. Its combination of rock and water, changing seasons and moods make this an awe-inspiring place to visit. With it’s magnificent mountains, awesome lochs and variety of wildlife including Red Deer, Golden Eagles and Otters, Torridon is the perfect place for the photographer.

Beinn Eighe

Glacial erosion has played a significant role in creating the breathtaking landscape mountains that are the hallmark of the beautiful Torridon Mountain area. The area was so imporrtant to Scotland’s heritage that in 1951 the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve was formed. The reserve is home to some of the last remnants of the old Caledonian Forest which once spread across the greater part of the Highlands.

Gairloch

To the north of Torridon is Gairloch (Geàrrloch means “short loch” in Gaelic), an area famous for its sandy beaches. Gairloch offers visitords spectacular scenery, with unforgettable sunsets across the Minch to the dramatic backdrop of the Torridon mountains to the south.
