Loch Clair and Loch Coulin

The walk starts from the small car park on the A896 opposite the private road to Coulin. It follows the road over the river and along the shore of Loch Clair, looking across the water to Sgùrr Dubh and Liathach. At the head of the loch it keeps straight on along a track beside the river to Loch Coulin, then turns right onto a narrow path along the north-east shore. Beyond the loch the path reaches a track near the house at Torran Cuilinn, crosses the River Coulin by a bridge and returns along the track on the south-west shore and back by Loch Clair.

It is 9.7 km with 57 m of ascent; allow about 2½ hours. The grade is Easy: almost level, on a private road, tracks and a path.

The path along Loch Coulin can be boggy after heavy rain. The view from the shore of Loch Clair to Liathach and Beinn Eighe is one of the classic sights of Torridon. Most of the walk is on private estate ground, so keep to the route, close gates and keep dogs under control.

Parking is free but limited. There is no station nearby.
