  Beinn Alligin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beinn Alligin is one of the classic mountains of the Torridon region of Scotland, lying to the north of Loch Torridon, in the Highlands.
The main ridge of Beinn Alligin is then followed round to the north, leading the hillwalker towards Sgurr Mhor.
An alternative descent, avoiding the horns, can be made by leaving the Beinn Alligin ridge at the col between the two summits (in Gaelic such a feature is known as a "bealach"), where grassy slopes can be followed westwards down into a neighbouring glen.

Sgurr an Fhir Duibhe, one of the peaks of Beinn Eighe
Beinn Eighe is one of the mountains of the Torridon area of the Highlands of Scotland.
One of the most famous features of Beinn Eighe is the corrie of Coire Mhic Fearchair, often simply known as the “triple buttress corrie” in view of the three large rock features the dominate the view.

For me, Beinn Dearg is closely associated with Allt Sheicheachan bothy, surprisingly tucked away by the side of the stream, to the south of the Munro at map ref 835737.
Beinn Dearg, a shy hill only recognisable from the south when close at hand, is usually climbed as a solo Munro, as Carn a' Chlamain is some four miles to the east.
The area to the north of Beinn Dearg, bisected by the Tarf Water and the upper reaches of the River Feshie, is an enormous and largely pathless tract of undulating hills and heathery moorland.

Beinn an Eoin's stubby southern ridge owes its steepness to the broken sandstone tiers and terraces which are climbed, or turned on the way to the summit cairn.
After crossing Beinn an Eoin and descending its south ridge, the traverse of the two-and-a-half miles of lochan-pitted wilderness to Beinn Dearg's eastern corrie, Corrie Beag, proves a delightful passage as large areas of glaciated sandstone pavement speed progress.

The summit itself is guarded by a couple of sharp ridges, that must be traversed to reach it.
Maol Chean Dearg looks impossibly steep when viewed from Torridon, yet around the back (as seen above) a spur leads from the col (centre of picture), right to the summit, crossing first a band of sandstone, then one of quartzite.
Finally, to the west of this lot, the sandstone ridge of Beinn Damph is a superb peak to introduce you to the splendours of the region.

This approach to Beinn Bhan is far superior than the approach from the head of the Bealach na Ba with its magnificent east facing corries.
The return, in the rain, was back down the west ridge of Beinn na Feusaige for a short distance before a steep descent through heather to meet the track at the edge of the forest and the short walk back to the start.
The climb up to Beinn Bhan was a lot easier and on reaching the summit cairn there were magnificent views of the terraced cliffs of the eastern corries and out towards Torridon.

But depressingly the weather prospects were abysmal, with heavy rain forecast for Sunday and then winter conditions expected to blow in from the north for much of the rest of the week.
After a brief respite from the relentless rain in the shelter of the bothy, I made my way along the track on the NW side of the allt, and then climbed up the zig-zagging path to the 800 m contour to the south of the Beinn Dearg summit.

Taken from the footpath up the Coire Mhic Nobuil this picture shows Beinn Dearg looking particularly photogenic.
This mountain has the great misfortune of only attaining the height of 2999 ft, which means that it can never hope to be a Munro, regardless of how many times they are re-classified.
Despite this, it is a very rewarding mountain to visit, not least because of the views it offers of its loftier neighbours.

Toriddon is best known for the trio of Beinn Alligin, Liathach, and Beinn Eighe.
Liathach has the most difficult route along a pinnacled ridge known as Am Fasarinen, though the Horns of Alligin on Beinn Alligin provide more than a taste of exposure.
One of special note is the Corbett of Beinn Dearg.
