Another from Ullapool looking up Loch Broom. As I am doing this virtual tour clockwise (whilst Roger does it anti-clockwise) from here we travel north to and through Assynt. The NC 500: The Scottish 'North Coast 500' is one of the world’s most beautiful road trips. A route of just over 500 miles (516) of stunning coastal scenery, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains, remote fishing villages and hidden gems.

2021. Ullapool Ferry terminal. The main crossing to the Hebridean Island of Harris. A real tourist hot spot here as a place to rest for a few days on the NC500 route. A large campsite caters for those enthusiast. The town itself sits on the north east side of its most wonderful Loch Broom.

Many tourist cut short their NC500 tour by driving straight to or from Ullapool from Inverness leaving out the Applecross and Torridon stages.

We are looking down Loch Broom here towards the town and can see how much of it lies on the spit of land jutting into the Loch. It is this that gives shelter to the fishing and ferry harbour just seen here on the right. In the distance the first of the ‘Summer Isles’ can just be made out. Enjoy full screen.

2014. As we take a brief break in this wonderful little town of around 1500 inhabitants we feel the tourist attraction here. A busy place partially as it is the only sizable town for many miles but also because of the through traffic to the ferry for Stornaway on the Island of Harris.

As we continue to drive south we come to the small town of Ullapool and its sea loch. Loch Broom is seven miles long (five looking down from here) and is fed by the River Broom. We are here on the main Ullapool frontage looking south with its fishing harbour and the Stornoway ferry terminal to our right. As can be seen, a full range of interesting mountain ranges lie to the south and overlook the loch.. The PiP (last photo) shows more of the Ullapool street itself. Enjoy full size and remember our friends in the Ukraine.
