Motorists are reminded of possible disruption on the C1087 Bealach Na Ba road this weekend.
Full road closure tomorrow and Sunday was originally planned to allow for drone filming but Highland Council has now confirmed that there will be a stop and go traffic system in operation tomorrow between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
Applecross Community Council has been told that if there is low cloud cover or rain on Saturday or Sunday they will not be able to use the drone or film at all but if filming does go ahead, it is likely to be in the later part of the day after 3.30pm to catch the evening light with delays kept as short as possible and not more than fifteen minutes at a time.
