Old travel Blog photograph of a pony and cart, cottages and people in Aultbea, a small fishing village, situated on the shores of Loch Ewe in the North West Highlands located twenty miles from Ullapool, Scotland. The loch became an important naval base and an assembly point for the ‘Arctic convoys’ taking goods and arms across dangerous routes to Scandinavia and Russia. Great convoys also set off for Murmansk, West Africa and North America. The nearest railway station is at Achnasheen which has trains either to Inverness or through scenic Plockton to Kyle of Lochalsh. There is also a ferry service to the Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, from Ullapool.
