- Beinn Alligin one of the classic mountains of the Torridon region of Scotland, lying to the north of Loch Torridon, in the Highlands. The name Beinn Alligin is from the Scottish Gaelic, meaning Jewelled Hill.
We arrived in Torridon early and made our way to Diabeig. Spoke to some locals and made sure we weren't going to upset anyone if we stayed the night in small carpark facing the pier and lovely bay.

Brilliant video takes me back about 25 years when I did Ben Alligin what a walk one of the best
Gary david thanks for watching glad it brought back some good memories. 😊🙏
Did it many years ago. Definitely one of my favourite mountains too. The horns are so airy. The 3 main Torridon mountains are all fantastic. Must get back there this year hopefully, it's a magical place.
The whole areas just.. special isn’t it! Thank you for your message Mark. 😊🙏

Wow!
I cycled through Torridon 3yrs ago and it was amazing.
Got to go back now and do some hiking round there.
Thanks for the great video! 👍
You are very welcome and thanks for watching. 😀🙏
Loved this 👍 I had to turn back after getting to the top of the first munro. This has made me want to go back asap and tick off the 2nd one! Well done Lisa on scrambling over the horns. Keep up the great work guys. 👍 atb Graham
Graham Thank you bud. Yeah she done well and is starting to look for more scrambling routes. 😀🙏
Nice video - what an amazing place. Definitely making a note of that one for when I return to Scotland!
Thank you for watching Matt. Hopefully it won’t be long before you can get back to Scotland. 😊🙏
Great video thanks for sharing
Hi Gary, Thanks for watching. 😀🙏
Wow, what a view! I can see why its your new favourite mountain! Hoping to head up that area myself next year so I've added this mountain to my list. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Julian Baird Photography really is worth the effort of getting to the Andrea area. Thank again for watching. L&D 😀🙏
What absolutely beautiful videos you make …we started up this 2 years ago but I have never climbed a big mountain so was intimidated…loved the views anyway from where I was…but I’m so envious of you….and wow can’t believe your good lady is scared of heights …I’m in awe !
Hey Anthea.. thank you so much for a lovely message!!! 😊🙏🌻 Mrs really has done well. Please don’t worry.. pick a big hill that’s normally busy.. put your boots on and just do it. You’ll wonder what you were worried about. Take care and thank you again. 😊🙌
Just watched ~ I tried it about a week ago from the other end. Didn't manage up‼️ I've watched a couple vids and yours provided a better understanding of the route. I've planned (weather permitting) to follow in your footsteps at least to the 2nd cairn and probably turn back then. Not sure I'm confident enough the go further / old bugger that I am + lone hiker. I've just Liked and subscribed. Should I manage as planned I'll add to my channel . Thanks so much for sharing.
Certainly a more gentle start from the side we started. The horns aren’t as bad as they look. Either way it’s be a bonus going up from both sides. Have fun. Thanks for watching. 😁🫡
Great video, looks stunning and peaceful. I'm heading there tomorrow after a 4 hour drive from Aberdeenshire :)
Have a great day out. 😊🙌
Great video😊
Glad you liked it Russy… :-)
Torridon and Beinn Alligin gets a thumbs up from me. 👍🏼
Camped up on the first Munro 3 years ago, wasn't vlogging much then unfortunately. 😔
Cheers
Robin
Cheer Robin, Yeah there’s loads of great bivvy or camping options up there. We fancy a winter camp. 😀👌
@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 that would be tasty. 😋
Definitely on my list 👌love your videos,was just saying to my wife how much your missus reminds me of her,the heights,the scrambling and exposure ! Nothing better than doing all these things with your soulmate ❤️
Hi Gary… thank you for your kind words. I used to like going away on my own from time to time. These days it just doesn’t feel right if I’ve not got my adventure buddy with me. 😊🌻🙏
My thoughts exactly 👌
Hi folks, I totally agree with you guys....
What a fantastic place I was there back in September 2019 on the horns, would loved to have stayed longer but too much to gram in to so few days.
Plan to re visit soon... torridan lodge was a good base for us.
Take care .

The lodge look very nice. Thank you for watching our wee film. 😀🙏
We are looking to do this mountain maybe tomorrow but might be unlikely considering the weather might be rough and lots of low cloud. I too am scared of heights but love a good view. Looks like you had the mountains too yourself.
It’s a great day out thanks for sure. Worth keeping for a good day though. 😊
Another excellent film guys. I saw nothing but mist and rain when I did these two munros some years ago but am planning on going back next year on a nice day to take in the horns this time. I've always thought anti clockwise would be easier as it would mean going up the steep section rather than down as you did coming off the horns, what do you reckon?
It’s a lovely set of peaks, one of our favourites! I think anti-clockwise would be a good way to do it. It was a steep decent either way it’s all fun. Thanks for watching and merry Xmas! 🎄🎁😀
Great effort I hate heights too. Super job
Where are you guys based
We are Edinburgh but spend most of our free time up north. Sadly we still need to work lol :-)
How’s the scrambling on this? Keep it for a dry day?
It’s not too bad. Dry day preferable but not essential, it’s good rock. 😀🤟
can you do the scramble solo?
Yeah totally. It’s not actually that hard.
I found Beinn Alligin the least interesting of the Torridon giants. The ascend was very straightforward and bit boring. Descent was bit more interesting. I think Beinn Eighe and Liathach offer a bit more variety.
Hey David, They are all pretty special in our view. Thanks for watching. 😀👍
