Ullapool Anchorage
Drop anchor in the sheltered waters of Loch Broom right off the charming fishing village of Ullapool, one of the northwest Highlands' most characterful spots. You're well-placed to row ashore and explore the whitewashed waterfront, grab fresh seafood, or use it as a base for striking out into the surrounding mountain scenery. The remoteness and raw Highland landscape make this one of those anchorages that genuinely sticks with you. Watch for the Stornoway ferry coming and going, and keep an eye on the forecast as westerly weather can make things lively.
