The area supports a wealth of wildlife and birdlife, including red deer, otters, pine martins, cuckoos, and golden eagles. Seals can be found in permanent residence in the bay at the bottom of the croft. Applecross is perfect for walking, climbing, sailing, canoeing, seal spotting, fishing, birdwatching, picnics, and generally relaxing and watching the view.
