Loch Broom defines the setting of Ullapool — its sheltered waters and working harbour shape life on Scotland’s northwest coast. Founded in 1788 by the British Fisheries Society as a planned herring port, the settlement retains an orderly waterfront of whitewashed buildings. Ullapool is also an important mainland ferry point for Stornoway on Lewis, connecting Wester Ross with the Outer Hebrides across the Minch. The Ullapool Museum, housed in a former church designed by Thomas Telford, records local maritime and social history.
