I spent about a month or so in and around Applecross when I were a mere stripling on an outdoor pursuity sort of thingy based at the old Applecross house estate, then owned, I believe,( failing memory, maybe!) by the Wills fag family. Spectacular place, as I recall over forty years later!! Also a lovely small lochside village called Sheldaig sticks in the memory - always fancied living there, and back then, was niaive enough to think I might end up there!
