Ullapool is a much visited and lively fishing village in the north of Scotland on the shores of Lochbroom. Set in the scenic Highlands of Scotland it can be an excelent base for exploring Inverness, the Black Isle and Wester Ross. Places within a drive for day trips are Loch Ness and Aviemore. There are ferry trips from Ullapool to Stornaway on the Isle of Lewis.
It's coastal location means that sailing, loch and sea fishing can be enjoyed. There are the usual Scottish outdoor pursuits such as as deer stalking, shooting, walking and cycling. Golf is available everywhere - in Scotland, every other village boasts a golf course.
Check events before you book a self-catering break because you may be able to fit in a music festival, a fiddle evening or Highland Games which always add a little colour and culture to a holiday in Scotland.
