Loch Broom
The port of Ullapool is visible middle right, Large view please,
A village of only 1500 residents, it is still the largest settlement for miles around. Founded as a herring port, it is now used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and as one of the main ferry ports for the Outer Hebrides.

The headland is Ardmair Point and to the left of the image is the A835 road which forms a part of the "North Coast 500",
