Applecross

by Igraine - last update: Dec 31, 2006

the road to Applecross

On the last day of my tour we made a little detour to Applecross. Applecross is a remote village on the coast. One can reach it by a small one lane winding road. on the way (and down) we had to stop all the time for the other cars coming in our direction. It was a surprisingly busy road.
This pictures shows the view on top of the mountains towards to sea. As you can it is a rather desolate sight.
The view inland. Our guide told us that this road is closed in winter due to the snow.

Then after the winding road, you reach Applecross. The village consists of a view houses and a pub.

Little river
Just on the outside of the village a little river found its way to the sea. For me used to seeing the Rhine and North sea canal it is a peculiar sight to see something so small reaching the sea.
