Mountains Above The Road To Applecross On Visit To The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of the mountains above the road to Applecross on visit to the Scottish Highlands. Extremely isolated, Applecross was only accessible by boat until the early 20th century, and for many years after that the only road access was over one of Scotland's most notoriously treacherous roads, the Bealach na Ba, also known as the Pass of the Cattle, which crosses the peninsula and reaches a maximum height of 2,054 feet, below the 2,598 feet high Sgùrr a' Chaorachain mountain. The settlement is now connected via a winding coastal road which travels around the edge of the peninsula to Shieldaig and Torridon. The road skirts the shore of the Inner Sound and Loch Torridon.
