Ullapool (/ˈʌləpuːl/; Scottish Gaelic: Ulapul, [ˈuɫ̪apʰuɫ̪]) is a town of around 1,500 inhabitants in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands. Despite its small size it is the largest settlement for many miles around and an important port and tourist destination. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, moderating the temperature. A few Cordyline australis or New Zealand cabbage trees are grown in the town and are often mistaken for palms.

A great walk, easy to follow path. Initially following the stream, past a small waterfall. Path mostly flat but boots or sturdy shoes recommended as lots of rocks. We crossed the dry river and then climbed the bank to the right of the caves. This was steep but manageable and a good path. The caves were excellent and a great view point to see the glen. Lots of red deer and a golden eagle on the way. The path back down is the far side of the caves, it’s a more gentle incline and takes you round a crag and drops you to meet the original path. A great walk.

This is a fantastic way to spend a few hours - meandering your way up to the summit of this glorious hill. You get amazing views and the choice of paths is wonderful. We did it in the rain so got drenched and our shoes covered in mud but it didn't put us off.

This is one of my favourite beaches ever. You can go rockpooling, fishing and crabbing. I caught tons of stuff. I love watching the red and black throated divers (loons) diving and catching fish from the Minch. The views are great. I can’t get bored of this beach. We go here every day because it’s a short drive (5 mins) from Ullapool. We will be back. This is highly recommended. You can see the stornoway ferry if your lucky and it’s a absolutely brilliant sight.
