Beinn Alligin & the Horns of Alligin

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Munro #76 & #77 - The amazing Beinn Alligin, this was a bit of a challenge to film with the heat/flys.. hope you enjoy the video 😄 James

[@DrawingNo1]

Did this many years ago in the opposite direction. All the Torridons are amazing and they are my favourite hills. Excellent vid as always.

[@chriscoldwell]

Wow amazing ❤ trying to decide if I have the nerve for the horns

[@andrewmurphy4786]

Looks Amazing, and that weather 👍

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Andrew - would love weather like that right now!!! Cheers, James

[@JohnnyParsonsladfromtad]

Excellent video. Looks an absolutely cracking route 👍

[@martinoberstein8431]

Hello James, thank you ever so much for this one. Ben Alligin is my favourite mountain, though I couldn’t climb the horns because I have no head for heights unfortunately. But I love this mountain anyway. So thanks again for showing me the whole traverse!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Martin, can see why it is your favourite 😁 fantastic mountain, I’m looking forward to returning already! Cheers, James

[@Kev_Russ]

Shoooeperbosh James 👌👍😎 Some stunning footage. It is a fine moontain.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Cheers Kev, will definitely return to do it again sometime 😄

[@wanderingscot8479]

Nice video. Brings back some good memories of Ben Alligin

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching mate, glad it brought back memories, Atb, James

[@davieirwin5159]

Nice one and another good film. Heading up that way in a couple of weeks. 👍

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching Davie, enjoy 😁 Atb, James

[@chriswellings6189]

Truly incredible scenery. This was one of the rare occasions when the camera does do it justice. Well done!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Chris, cant beat Torridon on a good day 😁 Cheers, James

[@ArcAudios77]

Well done Sir, appreciated. Thanks

@@ScottishMunroJourney Wonderful watch James, am happy to find your content. Cheers

[@anthonycdamico]

Another great video mate! Thanks again for sharing, and thanks for putting up with those savage flies!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching 😁🙏 Atb, James

Thanks for watching Gordon 😁

[@m1hax]

great stuff!

[@anthonyharris7780]

Beautiful photography. You can really feel the awesomeness of being up there with the fantastic panorama. I hope to walk up there in the future on such a day as this.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching Anthony 😁 Atb, James

[@glentyan2505]

Fantastic video, great effort and very much appreciated .. you deserve more 'likes'.

Thanks for watching Glen 😁 Cheers, James

[@hikingwithfrank315]

Hi James, crackin vid, lovely hills. Done them a couple years ago and got a light dusting of snow. I was a bit wary of scrambling the horns as well, turned out fine. Some lovely shots with the drone. ATB Frank.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching Frank, really enjoyed the horns in the end 😁 The drone scared away some of the flies too 😂 Atb, James

[@BritishCoastline]

Wonderful walk.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

One of my Favorites!

[@themunrobagger]

Nice 1 another cracking vid well done 👍👍👍

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@NickandRachel]

Sweet views!

[@brookestraveltime4533]

Excellent stuff, looks amazing in every direction......pity about the flies/midges. I remember getting bitten near to death in the Highlands years ago, I was covered in red spots for the next month.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Was a fantastic mountain! They are a nightmare, worst I have ever seen up there! Camping in Scotland would be a dream without midges 😂 Atb, James

[@leefleming1569]

Looking to do either this or Liathach in a couple weeks time, good timing on the video, made us super excited. Great video too 🙏

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching Lee, Enjoy! Im hopefully going to do Liathach before the end of the year, Atb, James

[@yerjokin]

Great video mate… and cracking day☀️ apart from the flys🙈😂! Hope the other big 2 in torridon are on ur list soon👍🏻

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Cheers mate, all good apart from flys 😂 as you will know! They sure are 😁🏔

[@bigjimorr1]

Great footage, recently found your channel, subscribed now, looking forward to your next ones.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching James 😁 Atb, James

[@charliemccartney7055]

Hi James, Well done and what a splendid day. These classics are always best left for a good day. Cheers, Charlie.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Charlie, they certainly are, a breath of wind to keep the flys away - then it would have been a perfect day 😁 Atb, James

[@neilbower123]

Greta vid, cheers. We are heading up there in a few weeks so fingers crossed for some good weather like you had (but without the flies of course)

[@Ravi123abc]

Fantastic video! We’re heading up tomorrow although there’s mist and cloud forecast, fingers crossed it lifts so we can see those views!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thank you 😁 hope the weather was good for you! Atb, James

[@PAADVENTURES1]

Nice one James. Some amazing views and such an amazing place! Look forward to trying these! Brilliant Paul

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Cheers Paul, a classic day out! Enjoy when you do it, Atb, James

[@michellelaherty8905]

Top effort and great vid

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@joeginasam]

I did this today (in the opposite direction). The weather was similar but no flies!!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Well done 👏 its a fantastic route.. lucky you having no flies! Atb, James

[@jamesss1953]

I've just commented but looks like it didn't save ❓ Anyway ~ shorter version. This is my next hike. Where you came down is where I attempted to go up ~ didn't manage. The route you took here is where I plan to follow. However, don't think I'd manage the horns so I'll turn back before reaching them. Thank you for sharing this.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Nice one - enjoy! Its a great route, the descent was rather steep so would be tricky to ascend.. fantastic mountain though! Cheers, James

[@fraserhynd]

Stunning! Will need to add this to my to do list.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching, Atb, James

[@kisilvan]

Well done completing the horns especially considering your fear of heights

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Think I am building up my tolerance to heights 😁 thanks for watching, Atb, James

[@IanTupmanOutdoors]

Nice one. Did it with my dog a couple of years ago and no issues crossing the Horns. Worth mentioning that if the grass is wet then the by-pass route on the right side will be more dangerous than going along the ridge. The consequences of a slip and fall would probably be terminal.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks Ian, good effort doing it with your dog, I wasn’t brave enough to take mine 😂 yes 100%, You wouldn’t stop a slip if you got going down there, Atb, James

[@jamesbell6889]

Fantastic conditions James (minus the flies). Definitely one of the finest mountains 👌

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching James 😁

[@alwaysforwardyt]

Thanks for the video. Entertaining and well put together. l admit l'd be afraid to do those scrumbles (althought l'd do it if l have to 😎). ATB!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

The scramble isn’t as bad as it looks 😁 im sure you would enjoy it! Atb, James

[@HighlandHikers]

Great video James, what a stunning day to be in Torridon. Quite possibly my favourite location in Scotland - it has something unique about it. I bagged these back in 2014 along with Beinn Eighe and Liathach, spending a couple of nights in the Torridon Inn. Great trip! I’ve actually got some footage from my old GoPro Hero2 - maybe I’ll make a video from it one day, although the quality is really bad in comparison to modern camera gear. Cheers, Douglas

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching, has to be up there with some of the best scenery in Scotland! Would still be great to see the footage 😁 Atb, James

[@andy-astro]

Good stuff, cracking weather last week. Those flying ants though, ambushing hikers at every cairn, the pests! Just needed a little more wind.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks for watching Andy, a breathe of wind to keep the flys and it would have been the perfect day out! Atb, James

[@adventurefilmclub2549]

Great new video mate! Stunning conditions. I've only been up Alligin in winter, but absolutely love those Torridon mountains! Totalled my car and haven't been out in weeks 😭 hopefully soon though!

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thanks mate, couldn’t get much better weather! Sorry to hear that, hope you get back out there soon 😁 Atb, James

[@ro9202]

Lovely video sir. Heading up in September but will probably stay further south. I did Ben More and Stob Binnien in early October pre-covid and found it the best balance; still fairly long days, less traffic than high summer, yet early enough to avoid any chance of winter conditions. And didn't see a midge. Are they worse in coastal areas such as Torridon?

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Thank you 😁 yes Sept/Oct is my favourite time, starts to quieten down.. Torridon & the west seem to be hotspots for the midge.. just keep moving and you will be fine 😁👍 Cheers, James

[@adamlea6339]

I wonder if it is feasible to climb Beinn Dearg after the Beinn Alligin traverse given its close proximity.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

it probably would, on a long summers day!

[@WPFinlay]

I climbed Liathach during a July night then Beinn Dearg after it then I was going to climb Beinn Alligin. My Labrador put his paw down and refused.

[@user-de6kh6uu2x]

How is it for grazing animals? I'm looking for walks I can let the dogs run for as long as possible. One dog is OK but the other is a pain.

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

I didn’t see much, but there is some steep terrain up top so care is needed!

[@user-de6kh6uu2x]

@Scottish Munro Journey thanks for the reply. Me myself aren't new to hill walking and munros. I've tried and tested the dog on flat walls and she fails every time , hence the question regarding cattle etc.

[@mcnivsruns7984]

Did you do that in a day???

[@ScottishMunroJourney]

Yeah it was about 7-8 hrs 😁 great day out
