Archaeology
From Sunday 12 May to Friday 17 May, the National Trust for Scotland’s Archaeology team are planning to undertake an archaeological excavation on one of the house sites in Doire na Fuaran (Grove of the Springs).
During that week, the Torridon community and visitors are invited to take part in the excavation (not including Mon 13 May). Come and help the team uncover a small part of the historic settlement and discover more about the townships that once lived at the foot of Liathach.

Free to attend, all tools provided and no experience necessary! Parking will be available at Torridon Hall. Waterproofs and boots advised.

For more information and to register your interest, please contact rshannon@nts.org.uk

Weekly guided walks with the Torridon Ranger Service
Meeting at the Countryside Centre (currently closed), join us to discover an open-air church and the history behind Torridon. You can also feed a red deer herd, spot the local wildlife, enjoy the spectacular scenery and meet our Highland cows! Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are recommended. The route is leisurely and takes approximately 90 mins (3.5km). Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

The road through Torridon is several miles long and there are designated car parks as well as many smaller places to stop and enjoy the views. Torridon is also on the North Coast 500 – one of the best road trip routes in the world.

Please be aware that the sections of single track road contain passing places to allow vehicles to pass, whether they are on-coming or from behind you if they are travelling faster. Stay on the left-hand side of the road and either go into the passing place if it’s also on the left, or stop opposite it, so that traffic can pass safely by.

The village of Torridon, also known as Fasag, has a community centre with arts and crafts on display and for sale.

The Torridon shop and café is a great place to relax with a coffee and snack.
