Western Highlands - Scotland Coach Tours - 8 Days Tour Highlights • Remote seascapes of Wester Ross • Gairloch • Skye Bridge • Kyleakin • Train ride on the famous 'Kyle Line' • Shin Falls • Lairg |
The breathtaking scenery
of Wester Ross is reminiscent of the Norwegian fjords, with
dramatic mountain peaks and majestic lochs that bite into
the coastline. Ullapool developed as a trading post for the
Outer Hebrides, and enjoys an idyllic setting near the mouth
of Loch Broom. The village has retained its timeless, peaceful
quality - street signs are in both Gaelic and English, fishermen
land their rich harvest in the picturesque harbour, and the
friendliness of the local people is matched only by the serenity
and unspoiled beauty of the surrounding area. |
