Ullapool has even more to offer visitors this year, thanks to an exciting new investment in one of the village’s most cherished cultural landmarks. Ullapool Museum has been awarded £50,000 to develop new tourism packages, visitor experiences, and retail offerings, strengthening its role as a vibrant hub for heritage and community life.
A Fresh Chapter for a Much‑Loved Museum
Housed in the historic Telford Church, Ullapool Museum is already a favourite stop for guests exploring Wester Ross. This new funding—part of Museum Galleries Scotland’s Museum Futures Programme—aims to help local museums build long‑term sustainability and enhance what they offer to both visitors and residents.
The investment will support:
New themed tourism packages designed to help visitors connect more deeply with Ullapool’s history and landscape
Interactive visitor experiences, ideal for families and curious travellers
Improved retail offerings, showcasing local makers and heritage‑inspired gifts
An expanded engagement programme, strengthening the museum’s role in the community
What This Means for Visitors
For anyone planning a stay in Ullapool—whether for walking, wildlife, or simply unwinding—this development adds even more to look forward to. Guests will soon be able to enjoy richer storytelling, more hands‑on activities, and curated experiences that bring the area’s history to life.
It’s also a welcome boost for the village’s year‑round tourism economy, helping ensure that Ullapool continues to thrive as a destination with culture, character, and community at its heart.
Planning a Visit?
If you're staying in self‑catering accommodation in Ullapool, the museum is just a short stroll from the harbour and makes a perfect addition to a relaxed day exploring the village. Pair it with a coffee at a local café, a wander along the shore, or a trip to the bookshop for the ideal Ullapool afternoon.
