The A835 links Braemore with one of the Northwest Highland's most popular resorts. The fishing village of Ullapool (pop. 1,100) was founded in 1788 by the British Fisheries Association. Its pretty whitewashed houses in the village nestle on the north bank of Loch Broom. The art world is familiar with this remote spot thanks to some evocative
watercolors by the Austrian-born Expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) who visited the area on more than one occasion during the 1940s.
Car ferries leave Ullapool for Stornaway.
