Village does not normally see much snow in winter, but approach road can be very bad at times with snow and deer on the road.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/31606949/thurso?post_id=558630691#558630691Lived in Ullapool for 15yrs.

I actually stayed in a small town called Helmsdale on the east coast.
