Applecross is a peninsula north-west of Kyle of Lochalsh in the council area of Highland, Scotland. The name Applecross is at least 1,300 years old and is not used locally to refer to the 19th century village with the Applecross Inn, lying on the Applecross Bay, facing the Inner Sound.

View of Applecross Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Applecross is the ideal starting point for taking on Bealech na ba, one of the top 100 climbs in the UK. Plenty of cafes to refuel if you're about to take on the climb. It's a pretty fishing village in it's own right but it's dominated by the famous climb.
