Applecross Loop (clockwise or anti-clockwise)

[scottish grinnal]

We are going up to applecross this weekend and were
wondering what is the best way to do the loop???

[whirligig]

I would say clockwise ie start at Kishorn and descend into Applecross - the views coming down over to Skye and Rasaay are (on a good day!) amazing.

Be sure to go on round the coast road to Shieldaig - don't just turn round after your lunch in the Potting Shed or Applecross Inn and go back over the Bealach again. The panorama really opens out and once you get round the top of the peninsula you are over looking the Torridon hills which are again spectacular. Enjoy!

Agreed. Clockwise is the way to go.

Mrs M & I did it two weeks ago, and this is what to expect:-











Then sit and have lunch outside the Applecross Inn looking over to Raasay:



Wonderful road. Wonderful scenery

Mite even pop over that way myself this week if the weather improves
