Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña - Escocia - Ullapool
ENGLISH
Ullapool is a town of around 1,500 inhabitants in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands. Despite its small size it is the largest settlement for many miles around and a major tourist destination of Scotland. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, bringing moderate temperatures. A few Cordyline australis or New Zealand cabbage trees are grown in the town and are often mistaken for palms.
On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society. It was designed by Thomas Telford. The harbour is still the edge of the village, used as a fishing port, yachting haven, and ferry port. Ferries sail to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides.
The town was historically in Cromartyshire, a county made up of many physically-separated parcels of land scattered across northern Ross-shire. Cromartyshire was abolished and combined with surrounding Ross-shire in 1890.
Many of the pivotal discoveries of the Victorian era that contributed to the development of the concept of plate tectonics were made in this area, and there are still regular international geological conferences.
Parliament granted permission in the 1890s for a railway from Ullapool to the main Highland network at Garve, but insufficient funds resulted in the scheme being abandoned.

Back to photos from March's London Flickr photowalk.
If you are thinking you recognise the Art Deco / Streamline Moderne Florin Court then this maybe because it's featured in several films and TV series, the most high profile being Agatha Christie's 'Poirot'.
By the way, the next London Flickr Group photowalk is being held on Saturday 24th June, more details here if that sounds something you'd be interested : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...

From Wikipedia, "The building has been used as Whitehaven Mansions, the fictional London residence of Agatha Christie's character Hercule Poirot, in the LWT television series Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989–2013). As well as exterior filming, a number of interior shots of the building were used for this programme over the 24 years of production.
In March 2019 the building was again extensively filmed, after being selected as home and neighbourhood of one of the leading characters of the Batman spin-off Pennyworth.
In 2022 the exterior is featured in the film See How They Run. The home of character Melvyn Cocker-Norris and Gio."
