Our First Trip To Scotland

That's useful, Navigateur. Merci ! There may be other queries to follow, if that's OK with you, as our plans for further North progress. But they already firmly include Not going near Applecross while the van's fastened on!

I agree with Navigateur that the roads are easily navigable with care. Much depends on how much time you've got. The A896 via Lochcarron and Torridon is far more scenic (assuming the weather's fine) but needs more care, especially from Shieldaig, along Upper Loch Torridon, through Glen Torridon to Kinlochewe.  Personally, I'd do the alternative route via A890 through Glen Carron to Achnasheen, then A832. The roads are wider, faster and safer. That's the route we usually use and the one we'll be taking when we're up there in May.

Just another thought, "Hedgehurst". I don't know if you worry about provisions and prices when you're on holiday, but like previous readers, whilst you're at Bunree, I'd recommend that you stock up at Morrisons in Fort William. Whilst at Morvich (Shiel Bridge), if you have time, stock up at the Co-op in Kyle of Lochalsh before going to the real north.

No need  to  do  that,  T & A  !!

Plenty  of  places  where  you  can  catch  your  own  Haggissis,  they'll  be  fresher  too
