Tour Scotland photograph of the Pass of the Cattle, Wester Ross, Scotland. The Bealach na Ba, Gaelic for, Pass of the Cattle, is a famous, twisting, single track mountain road, rising to over two thousand feet in the Applecross peninsula, in Wester Ross. It is one of very few roads in the Scottish Highlands with gradients approaching 20%. It boasts the greatest ascent of any road climb in the United Kingdom. The road was featured in several episodes of the television series Hamish Macbeth, in which it is pictured as having a roadsign indicating: " Narrow road, no more than three sheep abreast ".
