Torridon (Scottish Gaelic: Toirbheartan) is a small village in the northwest Highlands of Scotland. However the name is also applied to the area surrounding the village, particularly the Torridon Hills, mountains to the north of Glen Torridon. It lies on the shore of Loch Torridon. Torridon is on the west coast of Scotland, 109 miles (175 km) north of Fort William and 80 miles (130 km) west of Inverness. It is now in the Highland council area. Until 1975 Diabaig was considered to be in the parish of Applecross in the traditional county of Ross and Cromarty. The surrounding mountains rise steeply to 3,500 feet (1,100 m) from the deep sea lochs. The Torridon area is widely acknowledged as having some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the whole of the British Isles. [edit] Research Tips
