 Torridon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torridon (Scottish Gaelic: Toirbheartan) is a small village in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.
However the name is usually applied to mean the area surrounding the village, particularly the mountains to the north of Glen Torridon.
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.

Beinn Eighe and Liathach are in turn capped with a layer of quartzite that serves to give them an other-worldly appearance, strikingly jagged and multicoloured hills that, in certain lights, actually appear to glow.
Liathach and Beinn Eighe are unusually steep and rough and are difficult territory for the hillwalker, and Liathach's summit ridge is so rent with jagged and exposed pinnacles that it is reckoned to be the most difficult terrain on the UK mainland.

 A probabilistic approach to peak bagging allowing for statistical error in hill heights
For example, Beinn Dearg in Torridon is mapped at 914m - here taken as 2998ft from the old imperial map.
Similarly, the probabilities of Sgurr a'Choire-bheithe in Knoydart (913m) and Beinn Bhreac in Atholl (912m) being above 914.4m are 0.10 and 0.015 respectively, and, for The Fara, 0.001.
Throw in Beinn Bhreac and the probability reaches 99.9%, enough to satisfy most baggers and to fulfil the more general usage of "probability".
