Loch
Broom
(Scottish Gaelic: Loch
Bhraoin, loch of rain
showers is a sea
loch located in Ross and
Cromarty,
Scotland.
Alternatively, the
reference to broom is
thought to be derived
from the spreading
yellow gorse.
The small town of Ullapool lies on the eastern shore of the
loch. Ullapool was
founded in 1788 as a
herring port. Ullapool
has a strong reputation
as a centre for music
and performance. In the
summer, there are
several Feisean and a
large number of gigs in
the local halls and
hotels - especially in
The Ceilidh Place. The
Ullapool Guitar
Festival takes place
in early October every
year, attracting
high-caliber performers.
