The Corrie of the Hundred Hills near Torridon is the best example in Scotland of a natural phenomenon created when debris carried by receding glaciers was deposited, forming a multitude of hummocks of sand and gravel ("hummocky moraine"). A footpath opposite the car park on the A896 approximately 10km / 6 miles south of Kinlochewe leads through this amazing terrain. Visitors should be aware that these are remote and rugged areas.
