I do this route once or twice a year.
If you're going for the scenery, then you'll love it. I can honestly say that in all the places I've been in this world, the view out to Skye and the surrounding isles is something everyone should see at least once in their lives. It's truly breathtaking.
However, the drive is a bit of a let-down. If you're fortunate enough to time your route to avoid the hordes of tourists, any progress you intend to make will be scuppered by roads that are in need of repair. Oh and the sheep
Nevertheless, the drive over to that side of the country from Inverness is utterly fantastic and the roads are wide and open enough to make really swift progress in relative safety.
The Applecross Inn also serves the best fish and chips in the land
Have fun
