Ullapool is on the coast of the North West Highlands of Scotland. Settlements dating back to the Picts and Vikings surround the village, though the village as it is today was established as a fishing station in the 1700's and there is still a considerable influence from the sea, both the local fishing fleet and many visiting boats from the E.C. and as far a field as Africa and Russia.
Ullapools' location offers visitors a fabulous base to tour the Highlands. We are 60 miles North of Inverness where there is rail and air links to all of the UK. The ferry terminal at Ullapool harbour runs a daily service to the Isle of Lewis. Routes south of Ullapool pass through Gairloch and Poolewe to Kyle of Lochalsh and the bridge to Skye. North takes travelers through LochInver and offers a choice of routes to the Northern coast and John O'Groats through locations such as Dornoch - recently publicised by a wee Highland wedding.
Things to do.
There is a choice of activities for all tastes in and around Ullapool. The surrounding countryside offers limitless walking and climbing and local companies can arrange climbs for those needing assistance.

There is a choice of cruises running from Ullapool harbour that take trips to Lochbroom and the Summer Islands. The Summer Queen even lands on Tanera Mhor, where the last independent Post Office in the UK still makes its own stamps.

There are numerous local pubs and restaurants offering the chance to sample the local produce some of which is landed at the harbour the evening it is served! Many of the bars have live music in the evenings ranging from contemporary to traditional folk.

Ullapool leisure centre has a pool, climbing wall, fitness suite and ball courts.

Ullapool Golf Course is a nine hole course along the banks of Lochbroom.

Lochbroom FM not only entertains the local area but offers courses in working in radio.

Below Broombank, the river offers the chance to fish for salmon that can be seen jumping in the pools.

Whatever your demands, Ullapool offers something, and all in a beautiful and unspoilt part of Scotland where you can appreciate nature and relax.
