Ullapool
Ullapool provides a good selection of shops: a Safeway’s Supermarket and a Costcutters shop - both are open every day including Sunday and Boots the Chemist. There is a Leisure Centre with Swimming Pool and Tennis Courts on the road north out of Ullapool.

The ferry to Stornoway (Isle of Lewis) sails throughout the year. During the summer months there are boat trips to the Summer Isles (birds and seals) and sea-fishing facilities.

The area is one of outstanding natural beauty and ideal for walking, gentle or strenuous. Short car journeys (12 miles) take one to the Lael Forest Walk, Corrieshalloch Gorge and the food-for-free mussel beds at the head of Loch Broom.

The same distance to the North is the Inverpolly Nature Reserve (Knockan Cliff Geological Nature Trail, ascent of Stac Polly, 2009 ft). Further afield to the North is the spectacular coast road to Achiltibuie with boats to the Summer Isles, salmon fisheries and hydroponics centre, smoked foods and sea bathing.

Lochinver (fishing port, gentle walk to Falls of Kirkaig and wonderful views of the Sutherland mountains, including the bizarre Suliven). 50 miles to the south are the magnificent and surprisingly sub-tropical gardens at Inverewe (National Trust).

There are guide books and maps in the house and a branch of the Scottish Tourist Board in Ullapool.

DIRECTIONS
Dolphin is situated on the hills facing south about 1 mile from the centre of Ullapool and has outstanding view over Loch Broom. Access is from the A835 from Inverness (60 mils) to Ullapool, turning right up a steep lane signed 'Braes' just short of the road sign saying "Welcome to Ullapool'.

The house is about a quarter mile up this lane on the left, identifiable by a carved wood dolphin at the bottom on the short, steep drive to the front door.
