      Am Pollan was created in 1970 by pupils of Ullapool Secondary School under the then headmaster, the late John Buchanan. The plaque in the park recognises that the project received a Dulverton Award in 1970. Acknowledgement is also made on the plaque of the Scottish Civic Trust and the Crofters Commission. It was an excellent piece of work by the then school pupils. The park has recently had a lot of work carried out to it to enhance Am Pollan as an attractive public open space and will include a new stone boundary wall, a promenade style path with railings, up-grading of steps as well as new entrance gates and seating.

      Rhue is a very short drive or walk 2.5 miles north on the A835. Once you take the turn off the A835 it goes to single track (there is a fair bit of loose gravel motorcycles watch the middle of the road) where it twists and bends until you get to the point where there is small parking space where you can enjoy the view.

      Leckmelm gardens are a short drive about 3 miles south of Ullapool. The entrance is very inviting with a lovely brick wall (some might find the entrance and exit arch a bit tight), there is parking for cars but not suitable for coaches. There are no toilets at the gardens so make sure you go before you go ;-). Dogs are allowed but have to be kept on a lead. If you are in to your flowers and plants there is a good review which can be found here.

      Lael is a large forest which is a great way for the whole family to relax and spend part of your day walking through this magical forest.

      Lael is a large forest which was first planted with trees during the 1930's and 1940's. Much of the woodland is now in its second rotation, i.e. the original trees have been felled and new trees planted in their place. During replanting, many more broadleaved trees such as oak, birch and rowan have been introduced to improve the habitat and diversity of the forest. The main access path which leads up to Beinn Dearg and its neighbouring mountains runs through part of Lael Forest and is very popular with hill walkers. Follow red waymarkers or Green waymarkers for walks of 1 hour

      Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve is a great place to visit for the whole family (just be careful with kids around the gorge).

      I recently took a visit to the gorge in a lovely sunny day, there is parking right outside the main entrance of the gorge with disabled parking as well.

      There are two different routes you can take from the main entrance of the gorge walk, on the left the longer route which is nice and you can see a view point from west side of the gorge or the more direct route on the right.
