My own considered reaction is more muted ! If you have read my reaction to this development. I'm a little bit discommoded with it! And I suspect that the local area community there - are just as bemused by the notion as well! Widening out the main access road on the seafront makes for some sense - especially if it were to include an improved bus stop area for local bus services! But is it there ? By the looks of it! No! So I remain pragmatically bemused by this development.

Notice I said 'harbour' because the harbour is the most important part of the community.

An excellent put together piece, one that was obviously very time consuming, no pun intended, but what a task...The changes in progression along with the seasonal changes seen, put life into what many would never see. A brilliant work of photography and editing. Well done indeed. 👍

I was last in Ullapool in the early eighties, I immediately recognized it, the harbour hasn't changed a bit. You can see the old fishing harbour but like Girvan in Ayrshire that industry has gone, so to survive has become a marina. What I do remember about Ullapool was the midges. Highland midges are a breed apart, vicious.🦟

so cute to watch the excavators trying to get their work done once the tide is low but constantly having to run away to safety once the tide rises again :D

They could have done some tree or shrub planting. The site looks like a concrete block when it doesn't need to be.

My reaction to this - is mixed ! I have actually been to Ullapool to stay once at the old Westmoreland Hotel in the 1990's and I have gone through the area on a more recent Coaching holiday in the late 2000's - I liked the general charm of the place - with this recent construction. I wonder if it has something to do with more recent events? I suspect that it's likely that it does! I am uneasy about it! And I suspect that I am not alone in lack of enthusiasm for that! I suspect that the local area community would be discommoded as well!

As a local, I think it's brilliant. Has helped the tour operators working from the harbour, recreational users and also a kids charity that we run facilitating kids, wheelchair users and visitors access the sea. Vast improvement and fully supported locally.

@@theklondyker - you are - perhaps - one who may think otherwise! The points you made are valid! But I tend to suspect that where there is one - like yourself - who holds the view as you do. There's bound to be three or more who hold the opposite view! I'm still suspecting that it has to do with the more recent events. And I still read it in the way as I have done so! Politely I will still have to disagree. I still believe that something has been lost and hence I cannot completely agree! I therefore politely digress.

There was a major public consultation and the only objections we heard were from people who didn't live here nor use the facilities. The road was too small for the ferry traffic and parking, the old sea wall was crumbling and needed raised due to increases in poor weather, and small boat operators couldn't use their boats in the winter as can't be insured on moorings. All these issues have been addressed, plus we have a area that people are using to sit, eat, play music, etc. Thanks for keeping it quiet but afraid you have the wrong view of the project and the views of those living/working here. Come up and see it and speak to those living here rather than attack it and make up opposition that doesn't exist. @@stephenfarthing3819

Yep, I agree, seems totally wasted. Create a large space then put nothing on it. Time will tell I suppose but this looks pointless as is, lots of money for a small marina. And I’m from Scotland so probably helped pay for it!

It seems they have two nearly parallel streets in that area. Make them into one way streets. So you can close one lane at the harbour and plant a row of trees and greenery instead. Maybe one, two little booths, seasonal rented to the owners of the stores in the front row, where tourist can get a coffee or ice cream...

That’s great for the area as more folk can enjoy the beautiful coastal waters, surrounding areas and friendly folk there. 👍 Loved watching the tide up,down,up,down 👍

At 12:45 they park a paver there and everything seems fine. But at 12:50 it comes again and seems to have a leak or something, its hopper is slowly opening up over several hours.

How much did the sea level rise due to this reduction of available volume?

Likely to prevent any plants taking root and breaking through the tarmac. My guess is that large tarmac area between benches and sea wall has dual purpose as pedestrian area and loading area for the new mooring spots. So it needs to remain flat, clear and accessible.

Money well spent. True it would look better with a few Palm trees. But they can be added later.
