Coulin Pass - Achnashellach to Torridon
Coulin Pass - Achnashellach to Torridon
This excellent linear walk starts at Achnashellach Station and follows the River Lair with good views of Fuar Tholl, Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhor before descending to a pretty waterfall and Scots pines at Easan Dorcha. A level section leads to Loch Coulin with great views of Beinn Eighe and then skirts Loch Clair with views of Liathach to reach the main road through Torridon - quite a short cut from the road route! This route can be shortened by taking the forestry track and Coulin Pass variation, which is the traditional route though less scenic.
