 Hiya

has anyone just returned from scotland

 we are thinking of going to applecross for few days

have you got any tips as we have not been before

thanks

There are two roads into Applecross. The one from Tomapress is called the "Pass of the cattle" and with good reason!  Not for the fainthearted!  It is not suitable for caravans, trailer tents or anything being towed.  The other road is from Sheildaig,  longer but much better.  They are both single track with passing places.

I have only been there by car but it is very beautiful and the campsite looks good. 

Applecross and the whole area is stunning, highly recommended.  The pass of the cattle is definitely worth the drive as the view from the top feels like you are on top of the world.  The pub at Applecross is lovely, right overlooking the bay.  If you go northwards from Applecross the area of Torridon is breathtaking, loch Maree near Gairloch is one of our favourite places.

Dont forget your camera - as you will be taking a lot of photos!

We are off to Skye in 3 weeks and cant wait.

hiya

thanks for the advice

the road from sheildrag was awesome

we decided to stay in the camping huts for two nights but the midges were bitting and the weather was bad so we left the next day but not before we visited the pub as the food was great
