Ullapool’s quirkiest tradition is back—and it’s got heart, humour, and a whole lot of fancy dress.

On August 16, the legendary Oddballs event returns to the village streets, bringing together locals and visitors for a three-legged pub quiz crawl like no other.

This year’s Oddballs is more than just a night of laughter and Lycra. It’s held in memory of Stefan Mauger, a beloved local football captain who sadly passed away. Proceeds will support the Teenage Cancer Trust and the Ullapool Garden of Reflection, adding a layer of meaning to the fun.

Expect:

• Creative costumes: From sea creatures to superheroes, the weirder the better.

• Three-legged teams: Yes, you’ll be literally tied to your teammate.

• Pub quiz challenges: Test your trivia skills between pints.

• Community spirit: A celebration of life, resilience, and Ullapool’s unique charm.

Whether you're joining in or cheering from the sidelines, Oddballs is a reminder that joy and remembrance can walk hand in hand—sometimes with one leg each.
