Applecross — Applecross Village Store and Filling Station
You’ve just dropped off Bealach na Bà — Scotland’s highest road pass — and this little village store and petrol pump is your reward. It’s basic: a small selection of groceries, cold drinks, and a single fuel pump that will save your neck if you came over the Bealach running low. The famous Applecross Inn is fifty yards away if you need a hot meal and a pint while you’re at it. The whole peninsula feels like the edge of the world, and this stop is the only resupply between here and Shieldaig.
The store keeps limited hours — verify before you arrive, especially off-season. The road in via Bealach na Bà is 25% gradients and unsuitable for large motorhomes or caravans. The coastal route via Shieldaig is easier but adds significant distance. Come with a full tank and treat this as a top-up stop, not a primary fuel source.
