the other peaks around Torridon, An Teallach has terraced sides riven with steep gullies and a sharp, rocky, summit crest. The most impressive section, known as Corrag Bhuide, rises above Loch Toll an Lochain. Corrag Bhuide's most spectacular feature is an overhanging pinnacle known as Lord Berkley's Seat. |
