Ullapool is a small town located in the North West of Scotland. This is one of the countries most northerly towns and is located in the county of Wester Ross. The town only has a population of around one thousand four hundred people but it often seems much busier as many people come to visit this area for it's outstanding natural beauty. The little town sits on the shores of Loch Broom and there have been people living in this area for well over two hundred years. Despite being in the North of Scotland this area benefits from the North Atlantic Drift which means often the climate can be quite mild. However this is not always the case and sometimes there are very ...  Read the complete review

If you've spent time in the North Western Highlands of Scotland, chances are that you've been to Ullapool. If you're planning on visiting, this is a good base from which to explore the area. The nearest airport is at Inverness, this is a small affair and you may find yourself flying from Glasgow or Edinburgh in a plane that resembles a transit van, although flights from London through BA tend to be in more substantial planes.

The Ceilidh Place is renowned for its support of music - local and visiting artistes. It has lovely bedrooms and for the less well off ,a bunk house. Theres a well stocked book shop and a good restuarant especially if your vegetarian - where you won't find much of a selection  Read the complete review

We had a week in Ullapool a couple of years back, and it is a very very beautiful part of the world. If you are uncertain where to stay, you must stay at Point cottage. It is a small friendly guest house, with just three rooms, but it has the most superb position in Ullapool. It is right down at the end of the point, where the ferries turn to go out to Stornaway, and you can lie in bed and see right across the loch, and watch the ferries passing. It is wonderful.

There are lots of nice walks though, and lots of beautiful places to visit in the ...  Read the complete review
