About the host
Hosted by Dr Mark K. Stewart
I live in Applecross at the south end of the Peninsula, in Applecross Manse, just beside Camusterrach Pier, which was formerly a stopping point for the MacBrayne's ferry which serviced Applecross and the Hebrides. Now the famous Beallach nan Ba road over the mountains is the main artery.
I have a croft which I use for managing my herd of Highland cattle. The cows for the most part calf on the croft from mid-May, but, to the delight of tourists, they wander the hills and are seen wandering readily. Once a year they walk to Applecross Estate and provide a rare photo opportunity as cows and weeks-old calves plunge into the Applecross River and swim to the Estate on the other side. There is a bridge but they refuse to cross it!

Why they chose this property
I built the cottage on the site of Roddy's Byre an elevated position in the hamlet enjoying expansive views out to the sea and to the mountains. It is interesting to look at the photograph of the byre when it was first constructed and see Roddy's Uncle Farquar beaming a smile of pride and satisfaction and to think of a time not so long ago when life was so very different.
The cottage is built around the views so that you never lose contact with them com the inside.
This part of Applecross has a timeless charm beyond words. It leaves one feeling unshackled from the everyday and staggered by the moods and drama of its surroundings. One is instantly smitten.

What makes this property unique
This is the ideal cottage centred holiday: everything lies on the doorstep, a beach for children, a cove for play and exploration, a wonderful coastline to explore by easy walking, currently with a family of Otter in residence, a wide variety of singing birdlife including a visiting White tTailed Eagle, and pods of Porpoise and Dolphin, not to mention the Otter, to be spotted in the sea.
You can fish from the rocks. We have visitors who enjoy diving in the exceptional water with its 35m underwater visibility. Beach BBQ and picnic lunches are a favourite.
Outside, life is fun, interesting and relaxing.
Inside, the cottage provides all levels of modern comfort in a setting of peace and scenic beauty.
