A hairpin road climbs to 626m and drops to a whitewashed inn on the sea. Not for the faint-hearted.

Drive it once in your life
The Bealach na Bà (Pass of the Cattle) rises from sea level to 626m in six miles. Hairpins, gradients of 20%. Take it up, lunch at the Applecross Inn, take the gentler coastal road back through Shieldaig. Do not attempt in fog or ice.
