About Torr Leathann
Rising as a broad, grassy shoulder on the Trotternish Ridge, this 637-metre summit offers a quieter perspective on the dramatic landscape of Skye. While often overlooked in favour of the nearby Storr, its plateau provides an exceptional vantage point overlooking the Sound of Raasay towards the Applecross hills on the mainland.
