Heritage Centre

The Applecross Heritage Centre is housed in a sensitively restored nineteenth century outbuilding of the old manse and glebe. It is operated by the Historical Society and its volunteers, and it was opened in 2003. It is a major plank of the Historical Society’s commitment to promoting knowledge of local history and culture.

The Centre contains displays, artefacts and records to interest locals and visitors alike in learning about the history of the area. In doing this it hopes to develop a sense of the unique nature of our community and how the past affects the present in A’Chomraich – the sanctuary.

Historical Society

The Society, established in 1998 and incorporated in 2000, collects and records information about the history of Applecross, arranges public lectures and disseminates information about the local area.

Applecross is a peninsula with many small villages and hamlets spread over approximately 30 miles of coastline. Today, the main tourist facilities are located around the 19th century village known as Shore Street, which visitors sometimes mistakenly think is called Applecross.

The Historical Society and the Heritage Centre are both run entirely by volunteers and depends on membership fees, income from the Heritage Centre and donations to operate. Click here for more information about the Historical Society.
