Great to see your news. A hostel at Torridon seems a wise choice.
I stopped at the camp site there with my friend Judy a few years ago on the way back from Orkney. The guide said it was prone to midges. We took out the tent and laid it on the ground whereupon it turned black with midges, as did my jeans. We hurriedly but it back in the car and headed on our way. We eventually stopped at the Wee Campsite in Lochcarron. It's an excellent site, unattended but a notice saying that someone might be round in the evening to collect the fee but if they weren't leave the money in the box provided. They weren't and we did.
As we drove in we were amazed to see 2 light blue Chummies. It was Fergus Dobie and another Scottish Austin Seven Club member whose name escapes me. It's a small world.
