Beinn Alligin, Scotland It has been a magnificent 3 days of hiking here in Torridon. Earlier today, I went up the ridgeline of Beinn Alligin and from near the high point of Sgurr Mor, this view of the 3 horns of Beinn Alligin and the horns of Beinn Dearg in the background were prominent. Passing light helped motivate me to take pictures and unpack the camera gear in the wind and cold. Not a walk to be taken lightly (with alot of gear anyway) but highly highly recommended!
