Wee Pier Renovation 2018

Located at the village entrance, Ullapool’s wee pier is a base for both locals and visitors alike. UHT acquired the dilapidated pier from Highland Council and in 2018 undertook its renovation.

Changing Places & Community Workshop 2018

In 2018 the harbour signed an agreement with Highland Council to lease the basement of the local public toilet located in the ferry carpark and created a Changing Places and Community workshop, adding further life-enhancing facilities to the community and its visitors.

This formerly pretty grim, unused basement was in a poor state of decorative repair but fortunately was structurally sound. Work was undertaken to transform it into two important spaces – a Changing Places toilet facility for disabled individuals with complex care needs and a Community Workspace which is used by various members of the community including the local Men’s Shed group.

Harbour Upgrade 2014/2015

The introduction of Loch Seaforth, a new ferry for the Ullapool-Stornoway route necessitated major infrastructure changes and improvements at Ullapool Harbour.

This included an extension of the existing ferry pier, a replacement Linkspan, brand new gangway and extension and modernisation of the ferry terminal.

All work was completed on time, on budget and involved just a single weekend of scheduled ferry disruption.
