It was a great improvement when a direct ferry service from Kyle to Toscaig, near the south-west tip of the peninsula, started in the mid s. This seems to have ceased operation some time in the s.

Until Applecross comprised of two very distinct and unconnected communities. The "Parliamentary" road to the village of Applecross from Kishorn continued down the coast via Camusterrach to Toscaig linking them together and to the outside world to some extent.

But there was no road at all north of the village of Applecross, only paths and tracks suitable at best for horses or hardy motorcycles. As a result the settlements along the north coast were accessible only by sea. This was fine in the days when travel and transport by sea were the norm for much of western Scotland, and in as many as people were recorded as living along the north coast of the peninsula.

But in the age of the internal combustion engine this lack of a road spelled the end for many of these north coast communities. By the time the road was built along the coast from Applecross to meet the A near Shieldaig it was far too late, and most of the population had already left.

A commemorative stone with a plaque near the Shieldaig end of the road records the opening, after five years of construction, of the Shieldaig to Kenmore section on 11 May It was to be a further five years until the whole road from Applecross to Shieldaig was finished.

All this means that for today's visitors there are two routes into and out of Applecross. We'd recommend you get the full Applecross experience by coming in from Kishorn over the Bealach na Ba, then leaving by the coast road to Shieldaig. This is also the direction normally taken by those following the North Coast drive around northern Scotland.

The Bealach na Ba rises to a height of 2,ft from sea level in about four miles, and is the most spectacular pass in Scotland.

It also provides some of the most challenging driving in the country.
