The port of Ullapool sits on the shores of Loch Broom, and is the gateway to the Northern Highlands of Scotland. The picturesque town was founded by the British Fisheries Society in 1788, and its row of whitewashed harbour cottages line the seafront. There is a thriving ecosystem around Ullapool, where a simple walk along the shores of the unspoilt Loch Broom shows off its wildlife, with red and black-throated divers and red deer commonly seen.

Top Experiences

Corrieshalloch Gorge

The Corrieshalloch Gorge is a spectacular mile-long gorge and is said to be one of the finest examples of a box canyon in Britain. The Gorge which is 60 metres deep and ten metres across was created shortly before the glaciers left the area and today the river which is carved through the gorge leads to the spectacular Falls of Measach – a truly magnificent site.

Knockan Crag

The Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve is one of both Scotland’s and Europe’s oldest landscapes and is renowned internationally due to the important geological feature called ‘Moine Thrust’ and its 3,000 million years of history recorded on its rocks.

Eas a’ Chual Aluinn

Eas a’ Chual Aluinn, around 45 minutes’ drive from Ullapool, is Britain’s highest waterfall. At 658 feet (200 metres), it is three times the height of Niagara Falls, falling in a sheer drop to Loch Glencoul below.
