The weather forecast dictated where I went today - by sticking to the coast to avoid the rain inland.
Applecross is a peninsula in Wester Ross. It is bounded by Loch Kishorn to the south, Loch Torridon to the north, and Glen Shieldaig to the east. On its western side is Applecross Bay and the Inner Sound. The peninsula is mountainous, sparsely populated, and has only two small roads joining the mainland. One of these roads traverses the famous Bealach na Bà.
The Bealach na Bà pass rises to 2,053 feet (626 m) .In 2025, The Daily Telegraph wrote that Bealach na Bà had become a "worldwide motoring phenomenon".
