Road to Applecross | Scottish Highlands & Islands Travelogue 2018 | S1E12
After a very comfortable night and delicious Highland Breakfast at the Harbour House Hotel in Ullapool, we head off on the scenic coastal drive to Applecross, about 120 miles on the route we took.
Along the way we briefly stop at a number of scenic points, starting with Dundonell and then Badcaul on Little Loch Broom, before heading down to Gruinard with its famously pink sand.
What we didn't know at the time (only discovered when doing the research for this video) is that Gruinard Island, only half a mile from the mainland, was the home to the infamous World War 2 era Anthrax experiment! The whole island was infected with Anthrax and remained off-limits to humans until 1987 when any remaining Anthrax was destroyed by saturating the Island with a combination of Formaldehyde and Sea Water. It is regarded as safe today.
From Gruinard we continue down the coast to the lochside town of Gairloch, where we grab a coffee and enormous cakes at the Mountain Coffee Company.
From Gairloch, we head inland to drive through the spectacularly scenic Glen Torridon up toward the Loch Torridon overlook. We would highly recommend Glen Torridon, we didn't stop as we drove through but plenty of hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities were in evidence as we passed.
Next to the picture-perfect town of Sheildaig on Loch Torridon, with the tree-covered Sheildaig Island (and not Torridon Island as incorrectly stated in the video) sitting right in the middle of the loch.
From Sheildaig we take the coastal road to Applecross. There's a faster inland route, but this coastal route is not to be missed! It is a winding single track road that runs, for much of its length, along the cliff top adjacent to the Inner Sound, on the opposite side of which lies the Inner Hebridean island of Raasay.
We finally reach Applecross, which as it turns out is both the name of the village containing the Applecross Inn and adjacent Applecross Campground and the name of the whole peninsula. This might go some way to explaining why the Applecross Village Shop is not actually in the village of Applecross but actually seems to be nearer the village of Camusteel, two villages away. Locally, what's labeled on some maps as Applecross Village is known as Shore Street, and the Applecross name is not used to refer to Shore Street. In any case, the Applecross Village Shop has very limited opening hours during the October-March season (we should have looked this up ahead of time), opening only 4 days per week for about 4 hours in the morning; accordingly, our quest to purchase supplies at the local shop denied, we head back to Applecross Campground and make the short walk down to Shore Street and had a great dinner at Applecross Inn before heading up to camp, where hopefully the wind will stay calm overnight ...

Ben Powell in Bath
Acoustic Magazine calls Ben a Bath-based acoustic wizard. We took a short snippet (34 seconds) of his busking session in early Sept 2015 in the square outside Bath Abbey. He plays a Lowden in DADGAD tuning and is as wonderful as Pierre BenSusan or Michael Hedges. We encourage everyone to purchase this man's CDs. He's at BenPowellGuitar.com.

Another abandoned homestead. Wasn't able to walk into this one without trespassing and disobeying some signs, so I was happy enough to just explore with the drone.

Throstle Nest House, Cottages in Swaledale
Completely rebuilt and enjoying superb views of Swaledale from every main window, this detached holiday cottage is the perfect place to stay both inside and out, and is peacefully located close to Low Row, just five and a half miles from Reeth. The beauty of Swaledale was seen by millions throughout the world when the Tour de France passed through here, and Swaledale is especially known for its wonderful wild flowers, stone barns, stunning flowering hay meadows, rich birdlife and gentle riverside and moorland walks. Enjoy marvellous vistas from the heather-clad moorland tracks or follow the gentle paths with their charming small gates and stiles. Wainwright’s “Coast to Coast” walk comes through the dale and not far beyond, you can also climb some of Wensleydale and Wharfedale fells including Great Shunner Fell (2349ft), Penhill (1791ft), Great Whernside (2309ft), Buckden Pike (2303ft) or the Yorkshire three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. The owner provides a welcome book with maps of recommended walks and a walking stick in the hall which guests are able to borrow.
A number of off-road and on-road cycle routes can be enjoyed. The Yorkshire Dales Cycleway and the route of the 2014 Tour de France both come through Swaledale. Bike hire and repairs are available in nearby Reeth. At every turn, the natural beauty of Swaledale offers an abundance of material for photographers, as well as distinctive villages, barns and dry-stone walls. Further afield are Harrogate, York and Durham, with their fine historic attractions and excellent shopping. Lofty Hadrian’s Wall country, the sweeping North Yorkshire moors, coast and beaches, the western Dales, Bronte country and parts of the Lake District are all possible day excursions. The market towns of Hawes, Leyburn, Richmond, Bedale, Ripon and Barnard Castle each have lovely independently owned shops and a weekly market. There are also many historical houses, castles and gardens to visit in the area.
Reeth has a well-stocked grocery shop and a supermarket can be found in Catterick Garrison, 15 miles. Hawes and Leyburn can be reached within 10 miles and have many excellent independent grocery shops. A local caterer is available and a fish and chip van calls up the dale every Friday.
There are no street lights on the lanes so, if the night is clear, the skies are truly beautiful. Put on your coat, take out a flask with a nip of something agreeable and recline on the garden loungers to watch. Enjoy making a delicious meal or baking a cake, which will go down particularly well after a great day out in the fresh air. There’s a good selection of baking and cookware and a few recipe books, including one by a local cook which features the view from Throstle Nest on its front cover. After a busy day, snuggle in to the top quality Egyptian cotton bedding. For 25 years, the owner ran a tour operater company, offering UK based breaks and serving up to 110,000 British customers a year. For her and her young family’s holidays she always chose to stay home and rent a cottage. So she knows what you expect when you do the same. Above all, it’s her wish that you have a lovely stay, and that you’ll leave refreshed and wanting to come back time and time again.

The illusion of Scottish independence
Scottish independence is contingent on the Scottish people being independent. Until then, our supposed political issues are based largely on paranoia and agendas, and too many people don't recognise that they are being used. We must stop seeing meaningless voting exercises and hypothetical changes in government as being the solution.
The path to independence starts with the individual taking back control of oneself, and pondering upon something that is larger than him/her, that shall endure after we are dead.
