Tour Scotland short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Beinn Eighe, a complex mountain massif in the Torridon area of Wester Ross on visit and trip to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. One of the most famous features of Beinn Eighe is the corrie of Coire Mhic Fhearchair, often simply known as the " Triple Buttress Corrie " after the three large rock features which dominate the view from the North. In common with much of the Northwest Highlands, the underlying rocks of the area are composed of Lewisian gneiss, a very ancient rock type. The earliest recorded ascent appears to have been during surveying of the boundary between the Gairloch and Torridon Estates, which surveyor George Campbell Smith was required to determine and delineate in 1851. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
