Introduction
A weather-beaten highland metropolis, Ullapool acts as an excellent base for exploring the stunning mountains and beautiful beaches of Wester Ross and also a jumping off point for exploring the Western Isles.
Sights and Activities
Events and Festivals
Loopallu Music Festival - This music festival attracts big names considering the moderate size of venue. In 2008, it will be held from 18 to 20 September.
Getting There
By Plane
Inverness Airport (IATA: INV, ICAO: EGPE) is two hours away by road.
By Train
By Car
By Bus
Scottish Citylink and local operators run daily services from Inverness.
By Boat
CalMac ferries do a daily return trip to Stornaway.
Eat
Fish & Chips are plentiful but for more upscale offerings try The Ceilidh Place with its ever changing chalk board menu reflecting the diversity of food on offer and its use of predominantly local produce.
Drink
Ullapool's a town where you definitely won't be thirsty. Weekend action is focused on the Seaforth near the pier whilst other places worth a pint or two are the Ferry Boat Inn (FBI), The Caley Inn and the Ceilidh Place's modest little bar.
