What to do and see in Ullapool, Scotland: The Best Things to do Adventurous
Ullapool (/ˈʌləpuːl/; Scottish Gaelic: Ulapul, [ˈuɫ̪apʰuɫ̪]) is a town of around 1,500 inhabitants in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands.

A few Cordyline australis or New Zealand cabbage trees are grown in the town and are often mistaken for palms.

Easy road access and a short sharp uphill walk on mostly good paths to the fabulous saddle of Stac Pollaid (though the actual summit is for experienced climbers). Stunning views, weather permitting, of the Assynt wilderness and Suilven.

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.
4. 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.
