Quick Q

Is the Applecross/Pass/Coast Road circuit best done clockwise or anticlockwise?

Depends on time of day I would say...the coast road is slow and I wouldnt want to do it with the sun in my eyes so wouldnt go anti after 3ish...the Pass has the more specatacular view going north-south but better driving south/north (no reason why you cannot do the top half both ways though. Quite frankly I find the Applecross Pass a bit over rated and with loads of traffic on there now a bit stop start

Thanks we're up there mid week after August Bank Holiday.
