Holy shit what a place to grow up! Obvs a different place these days with the 500 but felt like the back of beyond when I first went about 10 years ago. Assume it was mandatory to work at the Inn?
My dad moved us south to Cambridge in 1999 (I'm not sure I've forgiven him yet), I was around 10 so never got the chance to work at the Inn but yeah I think it's pretty much mandatory. I remember it a bit from the late 90's, before it was extended and it had a pool table in the middle of it - hard to imagine that now.
It was an incredible place to be a kid, we actually lived in Cuaig, about 10 miles north on the coast road so the bustling metropolis of Applecross was quite exciting to me back then.
