Applecross Bay, Wester Ross
The small village of Applecross is the best known settlement on the Applecross peninsula of Wester Ross and is located at the foot of the notorious Bealach na Ba route over the Applecross mountains.
The village of Applecross looks out northwards over Applecross Bay, one of the largest sandy inlets in Wester Ross. There are stunning views across the bay and the Inner Sound to Skye and Raasay.
The Gaelic name for Applecross is a'Chomraich which translates as "The Sanctuary". This dates back to the building of a monastery here by the Irish monk, Maelrubha, in 671 and the establishment of an area of 6 square miles around it as a sanctuary.
