Driving the notorious 2,054ft 'Bealach na Ba' (Pass of the Cattle) - 1080p

I've been lucky enough to have been over this famous old pass numerous times, each time as spectacular as the last, in any weather conditions. Here is the crossing from the Applecross side in it's entirety, sped up to fit into just over 6 minutes.

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 song is 'A knife in the ocean' by 'Foals'. I own no rights for this music and it is solely for entertainment.

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%. It boasts the greatest ascent of any road climb in the UK, rising from sea level at Applecross to 626 metres (2,054 ft), and is the third highest road in Scotland.

The name is Gaelic for Pass of the Cattle, Scottish Gaelic: Bealach na Bà, as it was historically used as a drovers' road.
