Ullapool Harbour & Village
Ullapul
A neat white fishing harbour on Loch Broom, where seafood restaurants, folk music bars and the ferry terminal for Lewis are clustered along the waterfront.
The town of Ullapool stretches across a grid along the shore of Loch Broom. On Shore Street, a row of white houses faces the harbour, where fishing boats, tour boats and CalMac ferries come and go. The town has several seafood restaurants and fish and chip shops. Signature dishes include local scallops, lobster and Loch Broom mussels. The Ceilidh Place and The Arch Inn, among other bars, often host Scottish folk performances in summer, and the Loopallu music festival takes place in September. Ferries depart daily from the harbour for Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides (about 2.5 hours). The town can be explored on foot in half a day. You can also climb Ullapool Hill behind the town (about 1.5 hours round trip) for views over the harbour.
