Interesting facts about this location
Bealach na Bà
Bealach na Bà is a historic pass through the mountains of the Applecross peninsula, in Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands—and the name of a famous twisting, single-track mountain road through the pass and mountains. The road is one of few in the Scottish Highlands that is engineered similarly to roads through the great mountain passes in the Alps, with very tight hairpin bends that switch back and forth up the hillside and gradients that approach 20%.

Its Gaelic name, An Lighe Rathairseach, should not be confused with An Linne Rathairseach, its western neighbour. Together, they can be considered as southeastern arms of the Little Minch. The Inner Sound is the location of BUTEC, a Royal Navy submarine sensor and emissions range.
