25 miles north (Achiltibuie) - worth a visit. You can purchase fish, meat & game after you have watched them being smoked
The Highlands capital of Inverness is one hour's drive away and offers a wide range of attractions to suit all ages and tastes.
The fishing village of Ullapool lies close at hand, with much to offer the visitor whatever the weather - an indoor swimming pool, vibrant arts centre (Ceilidh Place), museum, shops, restaurant and a host of cosy pubs in which to soak up the local hospitality. In the summer, the harbour comes alive with boat trips out to the Summer Isles, just three miles off shore, from where sea birds, dolphins, porpoises and otters can be observed in their natural habitat.
