Ullapool (Ullapul or Ulapul in Gaelic) is a small town in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest settlement for many miles around.
Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port designed by Thomas Telford, on the east shore of Loch Broom. The harbour is still the centre of the town, used as a fishing port, yachting haven and ferry port with boats to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. The town also boasts a small museum, an arts centre, a swimming pool and plenty of pubs, and is a centre for walkers and other holidaymakers in the area. Ullapool also has its own radio station called Loch Broom FM on 102.2.
