England-Scotland Day 7 (Part 5) – An evening at Ullapool

9 April 2010

After a whole of driving on single track roads, the journey back to Ullapool from Kylesku, via the A837 and A835 was a breeze. We arrived at Ullapool at about 6 PM and went straight to the Ullapool Harbour.

Ferries to the outer Scottish islands depart from Ullapool on a regular basis.

I simply love this town - the harbour, the boats, the traditional buildings, laid back atmosphere and beautiful scenery of Loch Broom. The setting sun cast a warm light on the scenery and it was nice to take a walk onto the jetty and snap away with my camera. The ladies rested on a bench while my son and I went to check out the fishing boats.

Red, Green, Blue – boats in all colours!

We bought some takeover fish and chips from a store and headed back to our B&B. The view of Loch Broom from outside the B&B was stunning. I set up my tripod to shoot the sunset but it was pretty cloudy.  Nevertheless, it was a nice way to end the day.
