North Coast 500 - Inverness to Ullapool
*** I do not own the copyright to the music used in this video. All credit goes to the artist and company***
Megan and I made a go at the North Coast 500 which is a coastal route round the highlands. It takes about 5 days.
Unfortunately I got unwell on day 2 and we had to call it a day. But still managed to see some of the most amazing scenery in the world and make a video

Ullapool to Stornoway. .
A day excursion [May 2008] to the largest and most northerly of the Outer Hebridean Islands, Lewis; from Ullapool to Stornoway by Calmac on a calm still hot day.
Soundtrack: WISHBONE ASH - 'Persephone'; this version from the Past and Present Live.
There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.
I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.
In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.
I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.
Now I know your years were never wasted,
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
It was in 888 that King Harald of Norway added the Hebrides to his Crown - hence the existing Norse place-names of Lewis, Harris, Uist etc all of which derive from those sea-roving Vikings. This video captures the sailing to Lewis from Ullapool.
On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society - and was designed by Thomas Telford. The harbour is still perhaps the focal point of the town and is used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and ferry port. Ferries, as in this video, sail to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides.
Many of the pivotal discoveries of the Victorian era that contributed to the development of the concept of plate tectonics were made in this area, and there are still regular international geological conferences! Others, of course, visit here for the scenery, hillwalking and the Seaforth, FBI and the Arch!!! Not to mention those amazing breakfasts in the local cafe!
Ullapool is surrounded us on all four sides by mountains and contains some of the most beautiful unspoiled scenery in the world with undiscovered beaches, forests, hidden glens with stags grazing, waterfalls, bird sanctuaries to explore, breathtaking twisty single track roads, all warmed by the gulf stream that gives it the tropical garden look with the comparably mild weather. It really has its own micro-climate. Boat trips depart to the enchanting Summer Isles as does a power boat trip that is highly recommended [watch the other video - Seascape adventure]; see seals and porpoises or marvel at the botanists miracle of Hydroponics in Achiltibuie.
From his 1920 writings 'The Land of the Hills and the Glens' author Seton Gordon in a chapter regarding 'Winter Birds on the Shore of the Minch' , writes thus: -
Across the waters of the Minch there stand the hills of Lewis, and there can be seen the entrance to Stornoway Harbour, a good forty miles distant, with the rounded hills that guard the port. Away beyond the entrance to the two lochs - Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom - there stands, perhaps twenty miles to the northward, the wild headland of Rudha Stoer, with its lighthouse, built high above the waters of the Minch. Even at this great distance one can see through the glass of a clear winter's day the spray rising high on the rocks as the swell from the north-west breaks, with the full force of the Atlantic, on this exposed headland.
Lewis is, in general, the lower lying part of Lewis and Harris, with the other part, Harris, being more mountainous. The flatter, more fertile land means Lewis contains the only town, Stornoway, and three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles. Our sailing on this occasion was a (pedestrian) non-landing one, so it would be nice to return again, this time for the ascent of the 799m 'Rocky Hill' Corbett, An Clisham (Clisham). The oldest rock in the Highlands is the Lewisian gneiss from which the hills of Harris have been carved.
From his 1921 'Wanderings of a Naturalist' Seton Gordon describes it thus:- On the Island of Harris are many hills, and the highest of them all is Clisham, which reaches an altitude of 2,622ft. And from the summit concludes on a clear day St.Kilda can be seen, the distance being roughly sixty miles.
From his 1923 writings 'Hebridean Memories':
Fom the lone shieling of the misty island
Mounains divide us, and the waste of seas -
But still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides

Wreck of the trawler 'Fairweather V' near Ullapool
Great to have the chance to dive this incredibly colourful little wreck again. It must be around six years since my last visit and I'm happy to report it is just as I remember it. This is the first 10 minutes or so of the dive. It's of a size that you can make your way around it twice in a dive and make your way into the wheelhouse, the holds and up through the inside of the wreck if you're comfortable with a bit of a squeeze.

Ullapool Dance Festival
Entering its third year, the Ullapool Dance Festival is an exciting chance for beginners, experienced dancers and professionals to be immersed in dance. Set in exceptionally wild and beautiful North West Scottish Highland scenery, this small and remote fishing village is famous for hosting great festivals.
Styles are likely to range from hip hop, musical theatre, contemporary, Capoeira, Latin, Indian and traditional Scottish.
A timetable of 'come and try' classes is designed to have something for beginners of all ages and abilities - no previous dance experience is needed. Many adult and child classes are held next door to each other so everyone can take part at once. Experienced and professional dancers can try out new styles or attend specialist masterclasses.
Both amateur and professional dancers will take part in the eclectic showcase Get Ullapool Dancing.
Don't miss the great Ceilidh and World Dance Party mixing traditional Scottish dancing with professional performances and plenty of chance for all ages to join in. Ullapool festivals are so special because the small venues and intimate Highland location allow performers, tutors and participants to mix in an informal and friendly holiday atmosphere.
Classes and venues are open and accessible to all abilities with some especially suitable for people with limited mobility or lower fitness or energy levels. Make contact to discuss any special requirements or the appropriateness of individual classes.
See the website for programme details.
All class places must be booked in advance and last year many sold out!

The road to Ullapool
December 11th and 12th 2010 - I was up in the far north of Scotland to meet a Dutch band to do a photo shoot, but it all went a bit 'tits-up' due to the weather and other 'technical issues'.
I took my son Ric and my good friend Kris Breadner - a most excellent road-trip was had. We drove about 1000 miles in 48 hours and I made this mini-road movie.
Music - 'We haven't turned around' by Gomez.
I've done nothing in post apart from convert a couple of the shots to mono and to add a wide screen border. All shots were taken using a Canon EOS 5D mk2 with 50mm 1.4 and 17-40L lenses. All shot hand-held.

Photoshoot in the SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS ft. Kristy Ashton
What initially caught my Eye was the light, at first I called it a beautiful picture, now I call it whimsical. Kristy Ashton and Rich Jackson mission in life is built on passion. It’s something words cannot be described, but must be felt in person. With a flash of the camera, Scottish highlands in the background and that moment engraved for a lifetime, this statement will make absolute sense.
My experience with them was one of amazing passion for what they do, compassion, tons of humor, and a whimsical style that was one of the best personal experiences I had while travelling the world in 2018. You will leave this experience calling Kristy and rich, friends and if not I will buy you a beer.
While travelling around the world, I get to meet some amazing people. Everyone has a story, experiences, and like books we can learn from them.
I want to know if this is something you would like to see more of? Highlighting people i meet on my travels? I’m looking forward to everyone’s feedback. Thanks,
-Jeff
