Tour Scotland travel Blog photograph of the River Balgy in Wester Ross, Scotland. The River Balgy flows from Loch Damh to Upper Loch Torridon. The mountain in the background is Beinn Alligin which rises to 3,232 feet. The Torridon group of mountains is one of the highest ranges in Britain and reputed to be among the oldest in Europe. The hills are formed mainly of Torridonian sandstone, with some exhibiting a topping of white quartzite and boulders of Lewisian Gneiss at the base. Other mountains in the range include the nine peaks of Beinn Eighe, and the seven peaks of the Liathach ridge. The Torridon region is one of outstanding scenic beauty and popular with hill walkers, photographers, geologists and naturalists.
