Ullapool

For over 200 years fishing has played an important role in the economy of Ullapool. It was once a principal port for herring (or ‘silver darlings’) as a consequence of its promotion and development by the British Fisheries Society in 1788. The aim was to exploit a boom in herring fishing at the time, which peaked and then, due to overfishing, declined from the 1830s. Today there is a ferry and the harbour is used by the local fishing fleet who land prawns, lobsters, scallops and velvet crabs.
