The 8 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Ullapool, Scotland

June 21, 2021 Nicolette Lion

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.

It was lovely to call back here again after many months away and we were very happy to feel safe with the covid controls in place. The cafe area is very small but they have managed the space well for social distancing. We enjoyed tea and cake and browsing around the really lovely crafts on display and for sale - by local Scottish artists and craftspeople. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and always very happy to tell you about the people who have crafted the items on display. I have purchased several items over the years including a beautiful pendant, crafted wood bowls and a woolen shawl. This time I was able to stock up the delicious piccalilli they sell! We look forward to our next visit very much.

Corrieshalloch Gorge

200-foot Gorge.

Reviewed By amcintosh12 - Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Visited on a Monday morning in November so only one other car in the car park which was good as it wasn't clear where you were allowed to park. The gorge is stunning with good paths and great locations to view the gorge including the suspension bridge and viewing platform slightly further on. We made it a circular walk by taking the right hand gate from the car park and then turned right when we came back over the suspension bridge from the viewing platform.

Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Sujata410 - Columbia, United States

With stunning views and given its geological importance, this is well worth the drive from Ullapool. A generous parking lot shows the way to a wonderfully designed exhibit/display area tucked into the hillside. So much information shared in an interesting and hands-on way. Afterwards, you should walk up the trails to truly appreciate the natural beauty surrounding this reserve. We had a lot of fun even on a wet and blustery day.
