Ullapool Shore Street Development Sept to August Completion Time-Lapse 

I Hope they have further plans, as it seems like a lot of effort to create some dead space.

And in China it would be done in 7 days, respectively in a month if you want to pay for good quality😂

You can’t really put trees on the seafront. And clearly their main intention was to create a working harbor. But yes. It’s a real shame they didn’t create anything more beautiful than a vast featureless expanse of tarmac.

I agree what a load of 💩

Yep concreting over water and putting those residents further from there sea view. It never ceased to amaze and disappoint me- how imaginative planners and councils are. And we all know why.

Thank you

😂😂😂😂 You wally! That is so funny😂😂😂😂

Hi thanks for your comment and opinion, note that space will be getting used. The time-lapse only shows the project from one angle, I would recommend you watch my other videos of the project to give you more insight. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cyD9WBKTMzM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JUyoXwKrWN8.html

Thank you very much!

what I don't understand is how the tide comes in and out several times on the same day..

@@smokysmokathere might be a double tide? You get those in Southampton because of the Isle of White.

@@smokysmoka it's a 6hrs come and go rhythm - twice high tide, twice low tide.

Sorry to differ, but this cannot be defined as Development but rather an Exploitation of natural resources for crafty income. 😅😅😂😂

My own considered reaction is more muted ! If you have read my reaction to this development. I'm a little bit discommoded with it! And I suspect that the local area community there - are just as bemused by the notion as well! Widening out the main access road on the seafront makes for some sense - especially if it were to include an improved bus stop area for local bus services! But is it there ? By the looks of it! No! So I remain pragmatically bemused by this development.

The Achnahaird campsite? I stayed there a night years ago. Had no showers, but had toilets and wash basins. They had an agreement with the local swimming pool that people could get showered there. Achiltibue is such a beautiful place, looking out to the summer Isles and all.

Thanks for the comment

Shame there was no allowance made for anything organic. Not even a plant pot.

lol

Thanks was a good project to be part of.

@@stevengourlay4503 My own considered reaction to this. Is a little bit more muted. For the reason of why given! I liked the general charm of Ullapool! I suspect that it's not likely to have improved it! And I suspect that the local area community was also lukewarm of it!

​@@stephenfarthing3819 How many times are you going to moan about the development. Do you know anything about Ullapool and its needs? I think you'll find the locals will be more than happy that a useless part of shoreline has been transformed into a tourist attraction (yes people DO pay to dock at marinas and spend money locally!) and tidying up an area of the front which has, since I first visited in the early 60s, been rather an eyesore in an otherwise gorgeous little harbour town. Notice I said 'harbour' because the harbour is the most important part of the community. It gets a thumbs up from me, especially as there is ample opportunity to use the space created, which im pretty certain the locals shall do.

Thank you very much for your kind words. As im a member of the community it was great to be able to document the project from start to finish, there are a couple of other videos related to this you will find on my channel that give a bit more information as why the project was started.

@@stevengourlay4503 I confess that I've only taken a superficial glance at the harbour development website, but it does appear that shorefront has been replaced by a featureless expanse of McAdam. Was there no opportunity to bring trees or other biologically active surface into the scheme?

Hi Dirk, thanks for the comment, having lived in Ullapool for 16 years I see it as a vast improvement for both residents and visitors. Access to the water is now much easier / safer for everyone, not to mention you can safely walk / cycle without the worry of being right beside vehicles.

I have no doubt there will be plans afoot for further development in the grounds above the marina. In the meantime, getting the marina up and earning a lot of money was their main concern. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Thanks I agree it is a great asset.

Sounds like a very different time indeed, live in Ullapool since 2006 and have seen it chance some since then.

Yes, the ferry was an open boat that was pretty well full with two bicycles and our bags! It seemed an awful long climb up the ladder with a bike over my shoulder. Lots of changes in the North of Scotland since those days, when most of the A roads were only single track with passing places and small turntable ferries where there are now bridges. Bed and breakfast was from 9shillings to 10/6d!

It's probably a dual pedestrian area and loading area for the new harbour mooring positions. Hence such a large flat tarmac area.

I am sure the inshore key will see future development over time.

RJ Mcleod was the main contractor for this.

​@@stevengourlay4503 Is that the same RJ McLeod who made the new roads on Skye in the early/mid '60s? I thought they had gone bankrupt during that contract. Something happened as all sorts of machinery was left abandoned during the construction of said roads during this period?

@@WeeShoeyDuglesshi sorry not sure think RJM being going since 1950s.

How long would you think a tree could survive in salty, reclaimed land from the sea?

pears, ginkgo, hawthorns, honeylocust, London plane, tolerant maples (Norway, hedge, or sycamore), English and red oak, tolerant pines (Austrian, pitch, or Japanese black), Sargent cherry, or Scholar Tree. To name a few

They dont have to sit in the reclaimed land!

Thanks Kevin, glad you enjoyed it.

As a local, I think it's brilliant. Has helped the tour operators working from the harbour, recreational users and also a kids charity that we run facilitating kids, wheelchair users and visitors access the sea. Vast improvement and fully supported locally.

@@theklondyker - you are - perhaps - one who may think otherwise! The points you made are valid! But I tend to suspect that where there is one - like yourself - who holds the view as you do. There's bound to be three or more who hold the opposite view! I'm still suspecting that it has to do with the more recent events. And I still read it in the way as I have done so! Politely I will still have to disagree. I still believe that something has been lost and hence I cannot completely agree! I therefore politely digress.

There was a major public consultation and the only objections we heard were from people who didn't live here nor use the facilities. The road was too small for the ferry traffic and parking, the old sea wall was crumbling and needed raised due to increases in poor weather, and small boat operators couldn't use their boats in the winter as can't be insured on moorings. All these issues have been addressed, plus we have a area that people are using to sit, eat, play music, etc. Thanks for keeping it quiet but afraid you have the wrong view of the project and the views of those living/working here. Come up and see it and speak to those living here rather than attack it and make up opposition that doesn't exist. @@stephenfarthing3819

Amarican and human centric in the same sentence you were joking surely.😁

I agree it was disappointing

@fugitive011. No doubt as an American you were subconsciously anticipating a 4 lane highway so folks could drive enormous double cab pickup trucks from one end of the village to the other 0.25 seconds faster than previously.

My own considered view is that I might have seen a provision for holiday accommodation, some carparking and a decent bus stop. Instead of which. It was this !?!? Consider my bemusement - complete!

Yep, I agree, seems totally wasted. Create a large space then put nothing on it. Time will tell I suppose but this looks pointless as is, lots of money for a small marina. And I’m from Scotland so probably helped pay for it!
