As you will see from our photos in our Gallery, we have revised our layout inside the shop at The Captain’s Cabin in Ullapool. For your comfort and safety, there is a traffic light system before you climb the stairs to ensure the safe entry and exit for all of our customers. We also have a one way system in place around the shop and will ask that you use hand sanitiser upon entering and exiting the shop.

The world famous Ullapool Creel Christmas Tree is taking shape and here was the view along West Shore Street this weekend just before the creels were added. Very soon the whole fabulous display will illuminate Ullapool courtesy of Ullapool Fire and Light fund. We can’t wait for the light switch on, so put the date in your diary of November 29th at 5.30pm. Late night shopping will also be available throughout the village that evening. #shoplocal #christmaslights
