Enjoy a day exploring this scenic town
from Millwood House

Approached by the A835 along the shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool is first seen from the brow of a hill. It is an attractive town with a frontage of whitewashed houses and hotels, arranged in regular style on a curve of land which guards its harbour from the open sea. The location and layout were settled by the British Fisheries Society, which founded Ullapool in 1788 as a base for the rich herring fishing of the Minch. Ullapool is within an easy day's travelling distance of lodgings in Inverness Scotland.

Ullapool is still an important port. It is the mainland terminal of the car-ferry to Stornoway on the Island of Lewis. Loch Broom is still busy with fishing boats, pleasure cruises can be taken to the Summer Isles during the summer months.
