Tourist Guide

Applecross to Torridon via Shieldaig Road. Definitely the scenic route. The fifty or so miles from Lochcarron over the Bealach Na Ba and up to Torridon via Shieldaig on a bicycle in February is not for the faint hearted. Looking ENE to the Torridonian Mountain Range.

An out of the way, very comfortable and welcoming, stay for the road-weary, traveling the highlands… only regret is that our itinerary prevented us staying longer! Out of the way but close enough to anything you’re visiting in the area, Skye, Eileen Donan…
