Tour Applecross Peninsula
Map
of this area
At the head of Loch Kishorn, to the north ofArdarroch, an unclassified
road turns off the A896 and crosses the Applecross peninsula via
Bealach-na Bo (2040 feet). The pass, whose Gaelic name means 'pass
of the cattle', offers spectacular views of Beinn Bhan (2940 feet),
moorland scattered with small lochs, fjords to the southeast,
and the Isle of Skye beyond the Island of Raasay. The road follows
the edge of the peninsula, running along the shores of Lochs Torrison
and Sheildag, and rejoins the A896 just south of Shieldaig.
This
area has rugged beauty and the charm of the small isolated village
of Applecross
itself.
