Applecross Peninsula

Applecross is a peninsula in Wester Ross, Highland, on the north west coast of Scotland. The name of Applecross is more than 1300 years old and is not used locally to name the village. They simply call it 'The Street'. Applecross has a rich cultural and religious heritage, and a strong Gaelic history. The area around Applecross is believed to be one of the earliest settled parts of Scotland. The coastal settlement of Sand, just to the north of Applecross, is the location of a major archaeological site.

Home to just a couple of hundred people, and accessed by only two roads, the Bealach pass road from the south and the coast road from the North, this is a haven from the noise and clutter of modern life.
