Applecross in Wester Ross is also home to one of the most stunning drives in Britain - but you have to navigate some of the country's highest roads to get there.
The picturesque village of Applecross, nestled in the Highlands and often referred to as the 'edge of the world', has been touted as a must-see spot in Scotland.
Its 'edge of the world' moniker stems from its secluded position, making it somewhat inaccessible to the rest of the country. But fear not, there are two routes for those brave enough to venture.View gallery One option is a scenic coastal road from Shielding, located north on Loch Torridon, offering stunning views throughout the journey. The other is the Bealach na Ba , one of Britain's highest roads peaking at 2,053 ft.
Applecross and its surroundings are steeped in history, believed to be among the earliest settled parts of Scotland. Just north of Applecross, the coastal settlement of Sand hosts a significant archaeological site. For those seeking more than just the serene beauty of this secluded area, the peninsula offers a plethora of activities such as walking, climbing, cycling, sailing, fishing and kayaking. The offshore waters, warmed by the Gulf Stream, make these water-based activities even more enticing.
