Extreme weather in Applecross (photography adventure)

[@jamihiltonmusic]

I love this place, I lived there 2 years and worked at the apple x in.

I love these videos! 💕💕💕I usually give it a like before I even start watching them. 😊 Please never stop making them! It's so beautiful over there. I wish I could spend a year in Scotland once in my life. I would love to see at least some of these places in real. (Most likely I will never make it, but 🤞🤞🤞🤞) Until then, I watch and re-watch your amazing videos! Thank you! 💕

[@sarahinscotland]

Never say never!

[@RowanTreeArt]

Applecross looks amazing!! i so appreciate you putting the map up, so those of us unfamiliar with Scotland can have some context for the area you are in

[@sarahinscotland]

I'll try to remember to do that more often ☺

[@yesemitesam333]

I'm not sure if you have been up to Caithness yet but it is well worth a visit. We have wonderful, huge skies as a consequence of it being generally flatter here than elsewhere in the north. Add in the staggering seascapes and you have a fantastic landscape for art and photography. As with all of Scotland the weather can be very changeable and is often quite windy. Even in the height of summer and with a clear, blue, cloudless sky there is always an underlying freshness but you will get a warm welcome.

You promote Scotland so well through your various videos - Scotland tourism should be sponsoring you - your beautiful video's and photography is certainly enticing me to want to go there. Despite the bad weather in Applecross, it still looks amazing! Thank you for sharing

[@sarahinscotland]

Thanks Tina ☺️

Great video of Applecross. Thanks so much.

[@catepearce2138]

Hi, the area is so beautiful and moody, it looked like the little cabin was the best cozy choice. I really enjoyed your photography. Look forward to seeing your Applecross artwork also. Take care.

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you Cate!

[@Weetot]

haha I was so confused as soon as I started the video I was like " I know this voice!!!" makes sense you gotta travel to find all those lovely painting spots :)

[@donnanichols6838]

Another magnificent video!!! Thank you!!! 🍃🤗🍃

[@annhay4572]

Absolutely beautiful. And you bring up interesting talk about the energy and focus expended on "seeing/finding" photos/videos to shoot. And yet, don't we all expend that sort of energy on our "work" of whatever nature that is whether with an employer who pays us money or an "employer" who is more spiritual. Oh the Bealach Cafe ... oh my I want one of everything I see! :-)

[@sarahinscotland]

Interesting! Food for thought

[@kiwitea4179]

Love watching your videos. Always inspire me to paint

[@toricaple1327]

Beautiful!! Even with the rain..you were surrounded by beauty. Nice cafe'. Was that Avocado toast??? My fave.

[@sarahinscotland]

Yess so yummy!

Brings back great memories of a trip to Applecross. We stayed in a local B&B and walked down to the Inn for dinner. We had amazing langoustine. I don’t recall seeing any deer, but it was a long time ago. Hope to get back to Scotland soon.

[@sarahinscotland]

Walking to the pub is such a warm and cozy memory for me 🥰 since we only visit on the fringes of warm weather it is a great little spot to enjoy hot food and a beautiful view

[@colettelondon8434]

What an adventure!!

[@rhonda1631]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful country. Your art work is beautiful!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thanks for being here!

[@lebeninbunt]

Thank you for this wonderful video and showing Applecross. Now I'm sure, we have to visit there some time soon.

[@sarahinscotland]

You will love it!

[@ruthballardart]

What a cute cabin! I so miss the fog and mists. Thanks for showing us the beauty of Applecross.

[@sarahinscotland]

Very cozy 😌

[@LynnB_Ky]

Just my kinda get away. Loved the accommodation you stayed in, so peaceful Sarah

[@sarahinscotland]

Little cabins are our favorite type of place to stay. This was definitely glamping which is fun once in a while. Though I really like normal camping too :)

[@LynnB_Ky]

@@sarahinscotland I would like to think I'd be OK camping, but I do like some creature comforts. I keep seeing people wild camp and think yes, I'd like to, but ....... maybe I'm getting a bit too old 😄

[@jkhelmet]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I write children's novels, and my most recent one is taking place in Applecross. I have never been, but your visual tour is incredibly helpful!

[@sarahinscotland]

Oh that’s so cool! How did you get inspired to write about that area?

[@laurahale5774]

Thank you for letting us join you on this getaway. I hope Wolfy didn't mind us tagging along.

[@sarahinscotland]

Not at all. He's used to it! Ever since I met him he knows I take photo and video wherever I go (even before I made youtube videos about it 😄) Hes so patient too. He'll wait forever while I paint and take photos

[@laurahale5774]

@@sarahinscotland Sounds like a keeper ;o)

[@beckyisj]

Ahh Sarah your latest Applecross videos are filling up the travel vacuum in my soul that I didn't know I had 🥺 my heart is so warm 💙

[@sarahinscotland]

Aww Becky 🖤💜💙

[@simov8chevy]

Did you visit the broch at the campsite. It was a Time Team dig, which was a brilliant archeology program on Channel 4, at one time. At 9:57 when you're driving west through Lochcarron the small hill where the boats are moored is Slumbay Island, only an Island on extremely high tides.

[@sarahinscotland]

No, we didn't visit the broch but I watched the time team video, very cool!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Wow, I can't wait to see the paintings inspired by this landscape in the upcoming weeks/months! Loved the look of the canvas you were working on. Yikes, those roads though! I'd be terrified. 😂

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you! I'm excited to see what comes of it too...lots of potential I just need to put the time in!

[@nicolawilkinson9079]

Beautiful video - I have braved the Bealach na ba twice - October 2018 and June 2019, both times in similar weather conditions to you. I'm sure the views are amazing when they're not hidden by cloud! Can also vouch that the sticky toffee pudding at the Inn makes the white knuckle drive well worth it :)

[@sarahinscotland]

Haha I feel you!! I've only seen a good view from there once out of all the years we've gone. But I do enjoy the weather drama now and then

[@andreasissons7766]

Loved this video. I just got back from Scotland and I feel I only saw a small sliver of it in Kyle of Lochalsh, Armadale on Skye, Dornie, the Glenelg brochs. I can't wait to go back and Applecross will be on my list.

[@sarahinscotland]

Even after 6 years of exploring Scotland I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface! But the places on your list are wonderful, I’m sure you had fun!

[@Zydieplays]

I love scotland and applecross looks amazing. Unfortunately I havent visit this area during my two scotland trips. I think one of the things which made scotland special is, that it looks amazing no matter what the weather is like.

[@sarahinscotland]

I agree! The moody weather gives it a special feeling, while the sunny weather is another kind of magical

[@whylie00]

the art gallery & cafe looks so great and I saw some clothes I NEED, I wish I wasn't so anxious with driving halfway across Scotland though haha

[@sarahinscotland]

Maybe someday you can plan a week trip and make little stops along the way so you can take smaller drives 😁

[@VictorianStudio]

Wow dramatic and awesome Sarah! Thanks for taking us along on your adventures - looks like an incredible place to chill. Take care too!

[@sarahinscotland]

It is! If you luck out with fine weather it's one of the most spectacular views over the water especially sunsey

[@karenjohnson6487]

Beautiful video Sara. Such gorgeous country. Thanks for the mini vacay.

[@sarahinscotland]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DonohueLabs]

We've made sticky toffee pudding a few times now. We'll just have to pop over sometime and see how it compares to the real thing.

[@sarahinscotland]

Ohh yes, we can do a blind taste test!

[@Cerydwyn87]

Wow, Applecross looks stunning! Another place to go on my list. I went home to Cornwall this weekend gone (which is why I am only now managing to watch your video!) and the weather and geography remind me of Cornwall (okay more the weather!). Very excited to see how this has inspired your art :)

[@sarahinscotland]

Oh really? You have big mountains there?

[@Cerydwyn87]

@@sarahinscotland maybe not so much mountains as really craggy hills (check out Bodmin Moor). But also the weather and the horribly narrow roads.

[@lilyannepaints]

Hi, Sarah. Is there ever a time of the year where the weather in Appecross is more mild? It’s so lovely there! Thank you for sharing your vacation. It’s still hot here on the coast of California.

[@sarahinscotland]

In my experience its been a rollercoaster every time we've visited. I've gone in autumn and spring mostly to avoid crowds and midges. Some years the weather is perfect and others it's super wild!

[@lilyannepaints]

@@sarahinscotland Midges! They sound horrible! I’m trying to convince my family we need to go there for Spring break, which is first week of April. Will there be midges?

[@sarahRA86]

@@lilyannepaints midges usually come out end of May, and are worse June/July. You should be fine in April. The weather is very changeable, no matter what time of year so come prepared! 😉

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

@@lilyannepaints It depends on the year and how warm it is, and your location. I haven't seen midges in temperatures below 10c but maybe others have. On the west coast it is possible.

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

There is one thing I notice I'm reacting to in all videos about Scotland and UK, the woods aren't big compare to our woods, almost no growth. It must have been strange when You visited Sweden and in particular the northern parts.

[@sarahinscotland]

I don't know I was only there in winter and didn't see much

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

@@sarahinscotland It's more woods (different kind of trees, mostly fur and pine), than houses, roades, villages. Miles after miles wide. The woods are a big part of Swedens incomes and have been for many hundred years.

[@dariam6216]

Hi Sarah, thank you for a wonderful video! I lived in Boulder, Colorado for a while but never visited Scotland and wondering if Colorado resembles Scotland in any way? Some people call Canada a bigger sister of Scotland, would you agree? :-)

[@sarahinscotland]

The PNW is probably the closest feeling you could get to Scotland because of weather. Scotland is basically an oceanic climate with temperate rainforests

[@MARKSTRINGFELLOW1]

Have you been to Ardnamerchan?

[@sarahinscotland]

No I have not yet. The closest I’ve been is Kilmartin. I hope to have more time in that area to explore. It’s incredible!

[@sarahinscotland]

Oh and I’ve been to Glencoe! Which I guess is a little closer.

[@MARKSTRINGFELLOW1]

There's a caldera on Ardnamerchan and some beautiful white beaches there's only one way in and out Have a look on Google earth
