Area Insights

 

'An'Cromaich', is the Gaelic translation of ‘Applecross’, meaning 'The Sanctuary’. For many the meaning is as fitting today as it was in 631AD when Saint Maelruba formed his monastery then at Applecross Bay. Applecross retains a character of outstanding natural beauty in a timeless place apart. Applecross Manse sits about a mile outside the village of Applecross, in a pretty hamlet called Camusterrach, just off the NC500, and is one of 10 or so crofting townships on the Applecross Peninsula. This period property is an exceptional family home, set within a private secluded location enjoying stunning views over the Sounds of Raasay toward Skye and the dramatic Cuillin Mountain Range. There is much to explore and enjoy within walking distance. The mountains behind the Manse provide magnificent views across the bay to the Isle of Skye, and just beyond Glastullach is Loch a'Mhinisteir, the private fishing loch of the Manse reserved for the Church Minister. To the front of the villa, there are beautiful walks around the bay to Ardubh and to the coral beaches of its hinterland. The wildlife visitors include dolphin, porpoise, the White Tailed Eagle, Otter, and the ever popular Pine Marten. Its coastal position means Camusterrach and the property enjoys spectacular sunsets all year round, and with little light pollution it is a wonderful spot to see the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights). The Applecross Peninsula, accessed via the famous Bealach Na Ba mountain pass or coastal road from Shieldaig, is famed for its abundance of wildlife and birdlife and stunning beaches. A particular favourite is Coral Beach, which is a short walk from the Manse; a remote white sandy beach with breath taking views, it is an ideal place for swimming and picnics. Applecross offers 2 well established restaurants; the lovely Walled Garden Restaurant and the popular and well-known Applecross Inn, famed for its fresh seafood, waterfront beer garden and the Applecross Inn-side out Airstream. A little further afield there are many other renowned places to eat including The Torridon Hotel, which has been recognised for its fine dining. Applecross has a buzzing community life and boasts a local store for a post office and supplies, a highly respected community company, community owned filling station, excellent community broadband, a resident local doctor, a helipad for emergencies, community allotments, a gym, historical society and 3 churches.  The vibrant community hall hosts a range of regular events such as yoga, school activities, community council meetings, lunch club, strupags and ceilidhs. Also available to the community are Tesco’s deliveries, 2 weekly fish vans and a weekly grocer/butcher van. Applecross has a highly regarded preschool and flourishing primary school with children having access to a forest school and a Gaelic medium facility. High school is available in nearby Plockton with weekly transport provided.
