Ullapool
Scotland
Ullapool was developed as a fishing harbour during the late 18th century, but the area has been settled since neolithic times. Ullapool is a community in which tourism plays an important part, but by no means an overwhelming one. The village is the ideal base for those who wish to explore the real Highlands of Scotland. Ullapool is only a one hour drive north-west from Inverness, but is in the centre of an area described as one of the last wildernesses and unspoiled environments in Europe. It is an area of exceptional natural beauty, unsurpassed anywhere in Britain.

The area is famous for hill-walking, and climbing, with excellent specialist shops to provide you with "the gear" so you can be equipped for gentle walks or much more serious stuff.
