Description
After Loch Carron, the A896 continues north to Loch Shieldaig, an inlet surrounded by fine woodland, and then on to the mountain region of Torridon dominated by the towering "Munros" (over 3,000ft/1,000m). The red sandstone (over 750 million years old) of Liathach (3,456ft/1,055m) and Beinn Alligin (2,232ft/679m) on the north bank of Upper Loch Torridon are much admired by geologists.
