Applecross is a remote peninsula located in the north of Scotland. The area has a long history and is thought to be one of the country’s earliest settled areas.

Additionally, it’s one of the highest roads in the UK. Applecross is a popular tourist destination for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and fishing.
