Getting there

Beinn Alligin lies at the seaward end of Glen Torridon and is accessed from the single track road that runs along the north coast of Upper Loch Torridon to the little village of Diabaig. Parking can be found 3 miles after the turn off from the A896, immediately after a bridge over the river flowing out of the glen between Beinn Alligin and Liathach.
