What a treat in the museum today! 🎶
A huge thank-you to Ullapool Gaelic Choir for their wonderful performance

Coisir Ghaidhlig an Iar Thuath filled the space with an incredible range of traditional Gaelic songs, creating such a warm and uplifting atmosphere.

It was a joy to hear these beautiful voices bring our heritage to life. Hopefully we can welcome them back throughout the season! 💚✨

Huge Thank You to Museums and Heritage for recognising the effort of our Young Curators to shortlist them for Volunteers of the Year award.

Unfortunately we did not win but the competition was fierce and we are still so proud of our young people who have done amazing work in the last year.

Sadly we were only able to take 1 down to London but the rest of our young people had their own dinner party at the Caledonian Hotel Ullapool and Ullapool Harbour Trust kindly offered the ferry terminal to watch h the live stream!

Huge Thank you to both for their amazing support!

The Gaelic Primary 4/5 class had a brilliant hands on visit today, diving into the stories of the herring girls, reading each dolls storybook, and getting creative with crocheting and knitting for the community shawl. They also loved exploring the beautiful handcrafted dolls on loan from Brora Heritage , sparking plenty of play, questions, and imagination.

Moments like these show just how powerfully heritage comes alive through young people’s curiosity and storytelling.

You can experience all of this and more at , our current exhibition at Ullapool Museum, running until 29th May. Pop in and follow their journey! 🎣💙🧶
