The Applecross experience is different for everyone, and for us it was full of the classic misty moody atmosphere you might expect from Scotland. The west coast of the Highlands is always dramatic, and this was no exception. Escaping the daily grind for a few days of peace at Applecross is one of our favorite ways to prepare for winter. Autumn is a beautiful time in Scotland, but the weather is very dramatic. and though it's just beginning, you can see some of the drama in this video.
When you are looking forward to a few days away, your expectations can be really high, so you hope for good weather which can sometimes end up as a reason for stress. But this experience reminded me that it’s better to just surrender to whatever comes.
The weather is not always perfect, but exploring this remote peninsula provides endless inspiration for artists and photographers and tourists alike. The single track roads get really busy in the summer, which is why we prefer the end of the season.
I will let the photos do the talking, or you can watch my video about the experience
