Nestled in behind the three Torridonian Giants, This mountain is perhaps a little less well know and some times forgotten about (makes it a little less busy which maybe a good thing ). Standing at 2999ft it is just say of Munro status and is one of the highest Corbetts.
I climbed this on a bluebird winter day and is still one of my favourite days in the mountains of Torridon..... A forgotten mountain but memorable day. The memories are still vivid :)

Another great video Murray, Thanks. I was lucky on my first time on Beinn Dearg I got airlifted by RAF seeking- but not on a nice day like yours, so had to go back on another day about 4 years later to really enjoy the hill. Glad of the virus or we may have never seen this video. keep them coming

These are such beautifully produced little films that it's easy to underestimate just how much sheer effort and skill it must take to do this single-handedly. The stunning footage together with the calming and informative commentary make a great combination. For anyone heading out into these hills for the first time it's an invaluable resource and for those who can't, just enjoy! Thanks Murray.

What a wonderful video Murray.....Torridon must rate among the best mountain views in Scotland....if I can only get the UK to open its airports so that I can get over to Scotland for my annual hikes I would be so happy.. Perhaps I could quarantine in Torridon somewhere !!! Keep these fabulous videos coming.....I like many others are approaching an age where these videos will be the only virtual means of visiting places such as this.....Until then !!

@MrHistorian123 4 года назад

People go on about the 3 Torridon peaks: Liatach, Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin. And with justification, as they are 3 of the greatest mountains in Britain. But Beinn Dearg gets forgotten because it's just a couple of feet short of a Munro. But it's a magnificent hill with a nice ridge and amazing views of the other 3. An absolute must climb. And I saw my first ever real close up of a Golden Eagle on the ground near the summit.

@kodiak64 4 года назад

Gorgeous scenery (as usual!) but after reading about how the locals in the remote Highlands have treated outsiders during the COVID-19 lockdown, I've lost all passion for visiting Scotland again and I'm sure many other outsiders will be thinking the same. People have a veneer of civility in good times, but there's nothing like a crisis to reveal true colours.
