Bealach na Ba summit, Applecross Mountains, Wester Ross

The Bealach na Ba ("Pass of the Cattle") rises to 2053 feet in height from sea level in only 5 miles and is the most spectacular mountain pass in Scotland.
It also provides some of the most challenging driving in the country! It is single track throughout with a number of steep hairpin bends.
From the summit of the Bealach na Ba there are breathtaking views overlooking Skye and Raasay and as far as the Cairngorms in the east, Ben Nevis in the south and the Outer Hebrides in the west. The view to the north is dominated by Beinn Bahn at 2938 feet.
