A photograph of the MV Isle of Lewis at the Pier in Ullapool.
The MV Isle of Lewis is a ferry which sails between Ullapool and Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis. It is operated by Caledonian MacBrayne. It entered service in 1995, is 100 metres in length, and can make the crossing in two hours and forty-five minutes.
The village of Ullapool is situated on the northern shore of Loch Broom. It was founded in 1788 as a planned village, designed for the British Fisheries Society by Thomas Telford. Although the herring fishing industry declined in the nineteenth century, Ullapool continues to thrive because of its harbour. Today it is the terminus for the car ferry service from Stornoway and a popular tourist centre.
