We can stop here for lunch in the Applecross Inn, where Judith Fish, the proprietor, serves local seafood and fresh local produce in the friendly welcoming atmosphere. After lunch, we head North on the coast road which provides the visitors with spectacular scenery of the Ross-shire countryside. We come back on to the ‘Main Road’ just South of the village of Shieldaig, where we turn left and continue up Glen Torridon towards Kinlochewe. This area will take your breath away with The Torridon Hills towering above the valley floor and the road.

In Kinlochewe we turn right towards Achnasheen where the road climes up Glen Docharty where we will stop at the viewpoint to see the Famous Loch Marie. (Location of numerous Hollywood Blockbuster movies). We then continue to Achnasheen where we start to run alongside the Kyle Railway Line. We follow the general direction of the line all the way back to Stromeferry and then again when we turn towards Plockton.

We can spend some time in Plockton where you can wander along the narrow streets and visit the local shops and bars made famous by the 1990s TV Serious ‘Hamish MacBeth'. We then return to your accommodation where the tour concludes.
