RSS 22 September: Ullapool
Filed in Britain 2006We took a ride up to Ullapool for fish and chips, enjoying them beside the loch. Since I moved there, they’ve set up a “rock trail” - a series of signs and even an open air “museum” that interprets the local geology. I learned that Scotland was once a part of the USA - about 600,000,000 years ago! - and has rocks in common with the Appalachians.
Stuff like this makes one feel very small…
From top to bottom:
Blackwater Falls: a loo stop (you understand there’s a loo there, not the river itself ;-) and a pretty view.
A dam, looking up towards that Achiltie (sp?) Hotel.
A strange ball made out of what looks, to my untrained eye, slate.
The pretty view I enjoyed while I was up there. We hiked the basic simple trail to see where it went, at Knockan Crag.
