Loch Broom
Nr Ullapool
|
This is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. It is
not a sea-side bucket and spade shore, but is full of interest in the
birds, coming and going of fishing boats and twice a day you can see the
sight of the Caledonian ferry coming or going to Stornaway. The actual beach
is rocky and stony, so you could not use the wheelchair on it. But the edge
of the beach is mown grass. Toilet and shower facilities (with disabled
facilities) are close by.
