Ullapool Museum

Ullapool


Housed in a converted Telford church, this museum relates the prehistoric, natural and social history of the town and Lochbroom area, with a particular focus on the emigration to Nova Scotia and other places. There’s also a genealogy section if you want to trace your Scottish roots.
