Lochbroom Hardware: Your Essential Stop in Ullapool

Lochbroom Hardware, perfectly positioned on the corner of Quay Street and Shore Street, is a cornerstone of Ullapool’s retail heritage. This storied establishment, nestled directly below The Captain’s Cabin and adjacent to The Ullapool Bookshop, occupies a building that is among the oldest in the village, dating back to Ullapool’s origins as a fishing village in 1788.

A Legacy of Utility and Innovation

Owned by Katrina Thomson, who also oversees the neighbouring Ullapool Bookshop and Captain’s Cabin, Lochbroom Hardware stands as a modern tribute to the village’s historical roots. Originally serving as a fishing store and salt warehouse, the site has been thoughtfully redeveloped to host a comprehensive hardware and outdoor shop. This transformation, completed twelve years ago, has ensured that Lochbroom Hardware remains a pivotal resource for locals and visitors alike.

A Treasure Trove of Practicality

Described by many as an “Aladdin’s cave,” Lochbroom Hardware prides itself on offering an eclectic and exhaustive range of products. Whether you’re embarking on the renowned NC500 route and in need of camping gear and outdoor clothing, tackling a DIY project, or cultivating your garden, Lochbroom Hardware has you covered. The shop’s inventory spans electrical goods, tools, Dulux paint, fishing tackle, binoculars, and toys, ensuring you’ll find precisely what you need.

Divided for Discovery

The shop itself is cleverly divided into two main sections to enhance the shopping experience. The first, a smaller room, provides a selection of Hunters Wellington boots, walking shoes, Gelert products, binoculars, watches, walking socks, sunglasses, and hats suitable for all weather conditions. The larger downstairs area unveils an extensive selection of tweed jackets at reasonable prices, fleeces, clothing, rucksacks, anoraks, camping equipment, Dulux paints, electrical goods, household wares, toys, midge protection solutions, batteries, fishing rods, gardening supplies, and all the essentials for DIY enthusiasts.

More Than Just a Hardware Store

Lochbroom Hardware goes beyond being just a place to shop; it’s a vibrant part of the community that caters to the practical needs and outdoor adventures of its clientele. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor setting out to explore the majestic landscapes of Ross-shire, Lochbroom Hardware invites you to discover the utility and charm of one of Ullapool’s historic buildings.

In the heart of Ullapool, Lochbroom Hardware stands as a testament to tradition and community service.
