West Highlands & Ullapool

by scottishvisitor - last update: Apr 6, 2008

Easter in Ullapool

Snowy Reflections on a sea loch
Easter was early this year and the snow was late. We thought of visting Easter Ross but Wester Ross held the wild hightlands and the lovely quiet villages of Ullapool and Gairloch. Such a large and remote but perfectly accessable area to explore this was the perfect spot to rewind, relax and enjoy the great outdoors. We didn't mind the frequent snow showers either most fell when we were travelling around. So don't let the weather put you off.

 Evocative writing & photos Joan. I particularly liked your intro photo & "Where the Boats come and go" in Gairloch. £5 for 2 coffees is quite normal in London ;))

 The area looks like my idea of paradise. Gorgeous scenery, lovely picture-perfect villages, the sea, the mountains, the sheep grazing ... loved them all! Well, except the price for taking your car on the ferry. :( Thanks for the wonderful virtual tour.
