Bealach na Bà is a winding single track road through the mountains of the Applecross peninsula, in Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands. The Bealach na Bà is just one feature on this road, being its highest point and site of several corries.

January 3rd the year 671 saw the birth in Ireland of Saint Maelrubha, a monk who founded a monastery at what is now Applecross.

On his father's side Maelrubha was eighth in descent from the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages, King of Ireland, and through his mother he belonged to the kindred of St Congal of Bangor. He was born on 3rd January 642 AD, probably in the south-east part of what is now Londonderry.

After residing for some time in the monastery at Bangor, he embarked for Scotland in 671 AD. His early missionary enterprises were concentrated in districts now included in Argyll, planting churches at Kilarrow in Islay, and on the mainland at Killarow in the modern Killean and Kilchenzie parish; Kilmory, now Strathlachlan parish; and Kilmorrie near Dunstaffnage Castle.

In 673AD St Maelrubha arrived at Apercrossan, now Applecross, in Ross-shire, and made it the nucleus of his Christian missionary work throughout that part of the west coast and eastwards as far as the shores of the North Sea. He continued to be the abb of the muinntir for an incredible fifty-one years and died on 21st April 722AD. The privileged ground around the monastery, its garth or sanctuary, extended six miles in all directions and came to be known in the Gaelic as A'Chomraich, i.e. the sanctuary, a name still applied in the Highlands to the present parish of Applecross.

Not surprisingly, Maelrubha was considered to be, "the patron of all the coast, from Applecross to Loch Broom." Traditions in the Black Isle tell us that St Maelrubha was martyred in the parish of Urquhart and that his body was carried back to Applecross for interment.

According to another tradition, he was killed by Scandinavian pirates in Strathnaver in Sutherland, and was buried at a spot close to the river Naver, about nine miles from its mouth. It is said that the spot was marked by a rough stone bearing an incised cross.

You have to make your choices in these matters but personally, I favour the Strathnaver version of the story. The churches of Forres in Moray and Fordyce in Banffshire were dedicated to St Laurence and St Talarican respectively but, since there was, in each of these parishes, a fair - known as Samareve's in the former,and New Summaruff's in the latter - the reader might conclude that there must have been some dedication to St Maelrubha in both parishes. There was also a Samarive's Fair in the parish of Keith, whose church was under the invocation of Maelrubha, giving the township its ancient name of 'Kethmalruf'. These are possible exaamples of old "Celtic dedications" being supplanted with new dedications which were more acceptable to the medieval Church as it became more Roman in its outlook.

The community at Applecross played a major rôle in the advent of Christianity in the north and north-west of Scotland. It acted, in those parts, in the same way that Iona did in Dalriada and the western isles. It is not surprising to find that its influence spread as far as the north east.

THE MONASTERIES OF SCOTLAND - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS

  THE MONASTERIES OF SCOTLAND   PREFACE   Many years ago I became fascinated by the re-introduction of the monastic life in the Church of England having in 1956 read a book by Peter Anson entitled “The Call of the Cloister”. Anson had been a novice in the community of Anglican Benedictines which had been founded in 1896 by one Aelred Carlisle as an attempt to once again establish the Benedictine…

The Power of Natural Health Practices - Enhancing Male Fertility

In the realm of reproductive health, the importance of male fertility support cannot be overstated. For couples aspiring to start a family, understanding and optimizing male fertility is a crucial aspect often overlooked. In this article, we delve into the significance of natural fertility support and explore how incorporating it into your lifestyle can positively impact male reproductive health.

The Role of Natural Health Practices in Fertility Support:

Natural health practices encompass a holistic approach to well-being, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. When it comes to male fertility support, adopting a natural approach can be both empowering and effective. These practices not only target specific fertility concerns but also contribute to overall health and vitality.

Nutrition as the Foundation:A balanced and nutrient-rich diet lays the foundation for optimal male fertility. Key nutrients such as zinc, selenium, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids play pivotal roles in sperm production and quality. Including foods like nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and fatty fish in your diet can naturally enhance male fertility.

Herbal Allies for Fertility:

Traditional herbal remedies have been employed for centuries to support reproductive health. Herbs like Maca root, Tribulus terrestris, and Ashwagandha have gained popularity for their potential to boost libido, improve sperm count, and enhance overall male reproductive function. These herbs can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines to provide natural fertility support.

Lifestyle Choices Matter:

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is fundamental for male fertility. Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep contribute to hormonal balance and promote reproductive well-being. Conversely, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and sedentary habits can negatively impact sperm health. Natural health practices emphasize the importance of making positive lifestyle choices for sustained fertility support.

Mind-Body Connection:

Acknowledging the intricate connection between mental and reproductive health is paramount. Stress, anxiety, and other emotional factors can influence fertility outcomes. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and mindfulness can be instrumental in managing stress levels and promoting a positive mental state, thereby supporting male fertility naturally.

Due to its steep gradients, hairpin bends, and narrow width, the pass requires careful driving and is not recommended for inexperienced or nervous drivers. It is especially challenging for larger vehicles, and during the winter months, the pass can be closed or subject to temporary restrictions due to weather conditions. Traveling through the Applecross Pass can be a thrilling experience for those who enjoy scenic drives and exploring remote areas of Scotland. However, it is essential to plan accordingly, drive cautiously, and be prepared for the challenging road conditions. Applecross Pass, also known as Bealach na Bà in Scottish Gaelic, is a mountain pass located in the Highlands of Scotland. It is situated in the Applecross Peninsula, a remote and rugged area in Wester Ross. The pass is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and challenging driving conditions. The Applecross Pass is a single-track road that winds its way up the mountainside, reaching a maximum altitude of around 626 meters (2,054 feet). It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the Isle of Skye, the Inner Hebrides, and the Applecross Bay.

Skeletons under the Floorboards: A Multiple Iron Age  Burial in Applecross

by Cathy Dagg The Background In July of 2015 workmen renovating an old house in Applecross reported finding a human skull under the kitchen floor. They had, apparently, found other bones and thinking them to be animal, chucked them out. The skull initially looked like a cobble, similar to the cobbles that made the former storm beach that the house had been built on, but when it proved to be…
