Applecross Placenames Project

Placename

Gaelic name: Applecross

Name in Original Source: Applecross

English meaning: Applecross

Placename feature: Settlement

Notes: An Admiralty chart of 1851 places the name Applecrossbeside Shore Street and Baile a' Mhuilinn without naming either settlement, which is erroneous. This perception has lasted until the present day. Applecross refers to the entire peninsula, not just the settlement of Shore Street as some believe
