Hi, heading to torridon later this week. I'm looking at Ben Eighe and Siloch if the tops are clear, wondered if anyone could recommend anything else particularly if its clagged in?  Thanks in advance

Walk the 3 passes.  From achnashellach walk up the glen to Bealach ban, Bealach la nice, Back down via Coulags.  Stunning scenery and as you go thru 3 bealachs the views just keep on getting better.

Other one is the walk behind Liathach  Only gets to around a thusand feet.  Nice walk.  Really helps if you have a car at each end

Or if the cloud is really low the coastal walk at Alligan Shuas.  Really nice

Don't care about the weather how can you go there and not consider Liathach.

Liathach ridge traverse and Ben Alligin via the horns are both spectacular as long as you've got the head for some exposure and good conditions and visibility. Certainly not easy day hikes though if that's what you want and parts can be a bit committing.

Easily. Probably my least favourite Munro. Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin both surpass it.

How can you say that about one of the best ridges in the UK?!

Beinn Damh and Beinn na h-Eaglaise are nice for a shorter, lower walk. Good views towards Liathach and across the loch.

Just tons of loops and out and backs to do without going onto tops. Round the back of Liathach. Out to Craig bothy and back is a decent bimble. Loop around bealach on maol chean-dearg. I’d also recommend the marked path from Loch maree up leathad buidhe - we did with kids and it was surprisingly fun with some fun easy scrambling.
