Ullapool / above the Broom 2008 [03:34]
This video is currently advert free - cheers YouTube! Anr enforced audio change: Ullapool / above the Broom 2008 Another hillwalk 'above the Broom' [May 2008]. On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society - and was designed by Thomas Telford. The harbour is still perhaps the focal point of the town and is used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and ferry port. Ferries sail to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. Many of the pivotal discoveries of the Victorian era that contributed to the development of the concept of plate tectonics were made in this area, and there are still regular international geological conferences! Others, of course, visit here for the scenery, hillwalking and the Seaforth, FBI and the Arch!!! Not to mention those amazing breakfasts in the local cafe! Ullapool is surrounded us on all four sides by mountains and contains some of the most beautiful unspoiled scenery in the world with undiscovered beaches, forests, hidden glens with stags grazing, waterfalls, bird sanctuaries to explore, breathtaking twisty single track roads, all warmed by the gulf stream that gives it the tropical garden look with the comparably mild weather. It really has its own micro-climate. Boat trips depart to the enchanting Summer Isles as does a power boat trip that is highly recommended [watch the other video - Seascape adventure]; see seals and porpoises or marvel at the botanists miracle of Hydroponics in ...

ULLAPOOL / Corrieshalloch Gorge [04:07]
Corrieshalloch Gorge; soundtrack Celtic instrumental 'Last of the Mohicans'. On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society - and was designed by Thomas Telford. The harbour is still perhaps the focal point of the town and is used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and ferry port. Many of the pivotal discoveries of the Victorian era that contributed to the development of the concept of plate tectonics were made in this area, and there are still regular international geological conferences! Others, of course, visit here for the scenery, hillwalking and the Seaforth, FBI and the Arch!!! Not to mention those amazing breakfasts in the local cafe! And of course, to visit the Gorge . . . Corrieshalloch Gorge is a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Geological Conservation Review Site - all conserved (owned and managed) by the National Trust for Scotland. The gorge itself was not carved by the present river running through it as this would never be powerful enough. Instead it is likely that it was cut by powerful rivers flowing beneath a glacier occupying the Loch Broom valley. High water pressure caused by the ice confining the water may have helped carve the gorge. The rocks that form the gorge are 'Moine' rocks, originally sands and mud laid down in an ancient sea around 1000-870 million years ago. So this is a real walk back into time when life on Earth had not yet evolved ...
