Ullapool on Loch Broom, Wester Ross. XPL 3824-366
The region surrounding Ullapool is dominated by rugged mountains, and especially by Bheinn Ghobblach to the west, An Teallach to the south west, Beinn Dearg to the south east close to the head of Loch Broom, and Ben Mhòr na Còigich to the north. An Teallach is a massive mountain which dominates the area and consists of Torridonian sandstone, which is layered nearly horizontally. 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 has a strong reputation for as a centre of music and performance, with several Feisean and a large number of gigs during the summer in the local halls and hotels, especially in The Ceilidh Place. The Ullapool Guitar Festival takes place in early October every year and attracts high calibre performers, and the Loopallu music festival, held in 2005, was very well received and will become a recurring, annual, event. Ullapool also has its own radio station called Loch Broom FM
