Whilst the engineering is impressive, the end result is really disappointing for the majority of visitors. Looked like it was going to be a car park. An exposed, concrete wasteland with no foliage, no trees and no natural life that will be windswept in winter and burning in summer. Missed opportunity to do something beautiful.
I Hope they have further plans, as it seems like a lot of effort to create some dead space.
And in China it would be done in 7 days, respectively in a month if you want to pay for good quality😂
You can’t really put trees on the seafront. And clearly their main intention was to create a working harbor. But yes. It’s a real shame they didn’t create anything more beautiful than a vast featureless expanse of tarmac.
I agree what a load of 💩
Yep concreting over water and putting those residents further from there sea view. It never ceased to amaze and disappoint me- how imaginative planners and councils are. And we all know why.
Hats off to the cameraman long time standing in the cold and wet West coast
Thank you
😂😂😂😂 You wally! That is so funny😂😂😂😂
😂😅😅😂
Charming waterside turned into a featureless concrete wasteland with classic Scottish philistinism, all for a few marina berths, where most boats will remain untouched for months.
Looks great, but couldn’t they have added a touch of greenery to the front. Acres of tarmac and concrete and not a single blade of anything to break it up and make it a more pleasant place to sit.
Great Timelapse and clearly lots of work and engineering but looks like a car park in the end.
Hi thanks for your comment and opinion, note that space will be getting used. The time-lapse only shows the project from one angle, I would recommend you watch my other videos of the project to give you more insight.

I have to agree with others. This took a year and the results are underwhelming. Some contractor certainly had their christmas come all at once.

@@stevengourlay4503 I confess that I've only taken a superficial glance at the harbour development website, but it does appear that shorefront has been replaced by a featureless expanse of McAdam. Was there no opportunity to bring trees or other biologically active surface into the scheme?
They could have done some tree or shrub planting. The site looks like a concrete block when it doesn't need to be.
I have no doubt there will be plans afoot for further development in the grounds above the marina.
In the meantime, getting the marina up and earning a lot of money was their main concern.

lol stop stealing someone else’s words for cringey attention
As others have said, fantastic engineering. But it’s £10,000,00 for a few benches and seagull feeding spot. That dock could have been put in without the new quay. They could have just reclaimed the whole area to the pier in front, built some lovely new leisure focused harbour buildings, and landscaped public space for the waterfront houses and make their money back on all the engineering costs.
Haha, a few buildings will NOT recoup nearly as much as the mooring fees accrued by that tidy marina!!
I bet they are sad they didn't give you 10m and employ you to do it, what you being an engineering expert.

What have you done with this natural place????
Hi Dirk, thanks for the comment, having lived in Ullapool for 16 years I see it as a vast improvement for both residents and visitors. Access to the water is now much easier / safer for everyone, not to mention you can safely walk / cycle without the worry of being right beside vehicles.
yep its just like everywhere else now -- progress @@stevengourlay4503

Thank you very much!
what I don't understand is how the tide comes in and out several times on the same day..
@@smokysmokathere might be a double tide? You get those in Southampton because of the Isle of White.

Hope we might have appeared in the video in mid May when we drove through, certainly caused some disruption in its building. Needed a bit of landscaping far too much concrete and tarmac.

I remember fishing trawlers in the harbour in the late 1970s. And a line of lovely painted ramshackle huts touting for tourist day boat trips out around the Summer Isles, Isle Martin or fishing, dolphin, birdwatching. Shame they couldn't try planting some hardy bushes or trees next to the benches. Is the big fat sea mine still there? History.
Yes all the Russian fishing vessels.
@@mysticpizza02
The Russian mother ships sat out at sea, I remember them well.
Been going to Ullapool since the early '60s 👍🏻👍🏻
Almost as horrific as fort william!
Nowhere near that bad. Fort William is in a league of it's own.
Except that fort william does not welcome boaters.
You can't polish a turd !
Hi I would recommend you watch my related video on the project to understand the reasons for the change th-cam.com/video/cyD9WBKTMzM/w-d-xo.html
A marina huh? Not for low income folks obviously.
Tourists like to go on boat trips on Lochbroom, and out to the Summer Isles. A marina is a safe and easy solution at all tides.
Hi check this video out will explain some of the reasons behind the project. th-cam.com/video/cyD9WBKTMzM/w-d-xo.html

Great video. I’m sure the Chinese could have done that in 72 hours though! What is striking to me is the total lack of urban design or planting. Nothing green. Nothing. I know it’s surrounded be countryside but this is just a one great expanse of tarmac.
I was fully expecting to see a comment like this. This is not a "Tofu-Dreg project". It will last a long time.
seemed an awful lot of digging ,then re-filling , then digging again. looks good now it's finished.
Ill be hoping to tie up there next summer, great stuff.
So the area between the road and the new harbour’s edge…is that just going to be left as hard standing?

Very interesting watching this develop. Didn't expect the marina to appear!
Thanks was a good project to be part of.
@@stevengourlay4503 My own considered reaction to this. Is a little bit more muted. For the reason of why given! I liked the general charm of Ullapool! I suspect that it's not likely to have improved it! And I suspect that the local area community was also lukewarm of it!
@@stephenfarthing3819
How many times are you going to moan about the development.
Do you know anything about Ullapool and its needs?
I think you'll find the locals will be more than happy that a useless part of shoreline has been transformed into a tourist attraction (yes people DO pay to dock at marinas and spend money locally!) and tidying up an area of the front which has, since I first visited in the early 60s, been rather an eyesore in an otherwise gorgeous little harbour town.
Notice I said 'harbour' because the harbour is the most important part of the community.
It gets a thumbs up from me, especially as there is ample opportunity to use the space created, which im pretty certain the locals shall do.
So glad to see expansion in Ullapool, I had the best holiday ever staying in Achiltibue and topping up at tescos in Ullapool,
The seafood shack amongst others great seafood places and creal fishing in lock broom, sea kayaking and mountain walks.
I really hope Ullapool does well as it’s a great destination and hub for the area.
My own considered reaction is more muted ! If you have read my reaction to this development. I'm a little bit discommoded with it! And I suspect that the local area community there - are just as bemused by the notion as well! Widening out the main access road on the seafront makes for some sense - especially if it were to include an improved bus stop area for local bus services! But is it there ? By the looks of it! No!
So I remain pragmatically bemused by this development.

The Achnahaird campsite? I stayed there a night years ago. Had no showers, but had toilets and wash basins. They had an agreement with the local swimming pool that people could get showered there. Achiltibue is such a beautiful place, looking out to the summer Isles and all.
Excellent watch! thanks for uploading ! ❤
Thank you
Well the designers really applied themselves with that one. Made it look so attractive to everyone.
Thanks for the comment
Shame there was no allowance made for anything organic. Not even a plant pot.
so cute to watch the excavators trying to get their work done once the tide is low but constantly having to run away to safety once the tide rises again :D
Begs the question, what was wrong with the old front ?..
Or is some tarry fingered "public servant" been in the SNP biscuit tin again 🤔
It's so ms sturgeon can park her camper van easier, now she has passed her test,she loves ullapool for a week in the van !
Hi check this video out will explain some of the reasons behind it th-cam.com/video/cyD9WBKTMzM/w-d-xo.html
I'm more intrigued by the water bobbing up and down i could look for years
Yeah the tidal changes here can be fairly large
I used to regularly attend the Ullapool Guitar Festival, but haven't been to Ullapool in about 3 years. Albeit an extremely expensive job for little gain, and only for the few, this is a welcome improvement to what was a pretty bland sea front...
I'm pretty certain I saw Benny Hill and Hill's Angels in this video! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
ahaha
Cannot be a SNP funded project they actually are doing work,, passed through the last two years but on the main road and never actually noticed but I see it was for a private marina so the rich people can get their yachts in and their expensive cars parked safely ( so could be SNP ) , not long now and they will kick out the few fishing vessels left or make the fees so much they cannot afford to dock there.
Bet you’re a laugh a minute in social situations

This project was done by Ullapool Harbour Trust. It’s up to the Trustees what is done with the Harbour area.
You must hate the Queensferry Forth Bridge.
Those are commercial diving boats and fishing boats.
Looks like an enormously futile and costly operation with many faults and missed opportunities. The installation not one but eventually two drain holes was just hilarious. The end result is the most unimaginative piece of tarmac. The whole project makes very little sense to me. Loss of a nice seaside road.

@@stevengourlay4503 Will I see a beautifully designed picturesque seaside road in those other videos? 😂
😢 how sad tjat out of the many many species of trees that NOT one was planted along that front !!!
How long would you think a tree could survive in salty, reclaimed land from the sea?
pears, ginkgo, hawthorns, honeylocust, London plane, tolerant maples (Norway, hedge, or sycamore), English and red oak, tolerant pines (Austrian, pitch, or Japanese black), Sargent cherry, or Scholar Tree. To name a few
They dont have to sit in the reclaimed land!
@@toebared Tolerant to salt spray winds rather than salty soils. I agree though, it does look bare. A sculpture of some sort would be a better addition.
@@dontalkt2meboutheros try finding one that won't offend some woke lefty 😁
But Did they ever come back for the traffic cones?
Indeed they did, watch my other videos and you will see lots of other footage, not Timelapse
Such a large area I thought they were making a car park for the pontoons.
It's probably a dual pedestrian area and loading area for the new harbour mooring positions. Hence such a large flat tarmac area.
I am sure the inshore key will see future development over time.
An excellent put together piece, one that was obviously very time consuming, no pun intended, but what a task...The changes in progression along with the seasonal changes seen, put life into what many would never see. A brilliant work of photography and editing. Well done indeed. 👍
Thank you very much for your kind words. As im a member of the community it was great to be able to document the project from start to finish, there are a couple of other videos related to this you will find on my channel that give a bit more information as why the project was started.
An expensive yacht park for a few well off owners. No real benefit to the community. I’d be interested to see which members of the local council had ‘interests’ in the building of this.
Really Lesley, ive lived here since 2006 and see it as a vast improvement for locals and tourists alike. There are lots of small boats benefiting from the marina, check my other video where I interview the harbour master and the main contractor.
However much did that cost to do? Surely a few days dredging and a floating dock would have achieved the same result? Why do they need a walkway so wide? And where is all the tidal silt now going to go. Now that they have restricted the natural ebb and flow of the harbour?
Hi I think it was around the 10m mark, more information can be found in this video, the traffic trying to get through shorestreet has been a problem for years in Ullapool, the road was not fit for purpose.

@@stevengourlay4503 thanks alway great to get the full story.
Look in NOT AMERICA where construction actually gets done
I was last in Ullapool in the early eighties, I immediately recognized it, the harbour hasn't changed a bit. You can see the old fishing harbour but like Girvan in Ayrshire that industry has gone, so to survive has become a marina.
What I do remember about Ullapool was the midges. Highland midges are a breed apart, vicious.🦟
Looking forward to visit Ullupool in 2024 in the camper been 7 years and loved it then.
Enjoy the Broomfield holiday park must have one of the best views and very walkable distance from everything
@ a coastal location you go 4 tarmac bc its got alot more longevity 😂. & trees are also a mayor pain . & cost . Clearly the onlookers didnt have to pay the bills
So cool to see the development, and the new floating pontoons. Hopefully we will get chance to try them next season.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Comments from all the nimbys and people who dont leave their home town, would give you a headache.
Great timelapse for planners & student engineers to learn from, well done!🎉
Thank you very much for your comment
A year is still better than 10 years cuz that’s how long it would take for my country to do this
As an american watching this I'm sort of disapointed that the end result is a dock so people with boats have a spot to park. I was excepting something more "human centric" lol
Amarican and human centric in the same sentence you were joking surely.😁
I agree it was disappointing
@fugitive011. No doubt as an American you were subconsciously anticipating a 4 lane highway so folks could drive enormous double cab pickup trucks from one end of the village to the other 0.25 seconds faster than previously.
My own considered view is that I might have seen a provision for holiday accommodation, some carparking and a decent bus stop. Instead of which. It was this !?!? Consider my bemusement - complete!
Yep, I agree, seems totally wasted. Create a large space then put nothing on it. Time will tell I suppose but this looks pointless as is, lots of money for a small marina.
And I’m from Scotland so probably helped pay for it!
Great Timelapse, but really…WHY?
A huge tarmac area with some seats and a bit of a mooring. I’m puzzled.
Could that not have been done with a small extension and a stilted walkway and moorings at a fraction of the work.

My reaction to this - is mixed ! I have actually been to Ullapool to stay once at the old Westmoreland Hotel in the 1990's and I have gone through the area on a more recent Coaching holiday in the late 2000's - I liked the general charm of the place - with this recent construction. I wonder if it has something to do with more recent events? I suspect that it's likely that it does! I am uneasy about it!
And I suspect that I am not alone in lack of enthusiasm for that! I suspect that the local area community would be discommoded as well!
As a local, I think it's brilliant. Has helped the tour operators working from the harbour, recreational users and also a kids charity that we run facilitating kids, wheelchair users and visitors access the sea. Vast improvement and fully supported locally.
@@theklondyker - you are - perhaps - one who may think otherwise! The points you made are valid! But I tend to suspect that where there is one - like yourself - who holds the view as you do. There's bound to be three or more who hold the opposite view! I'm still suspecting that it has to do with the more recent events. And I still read it in the way as I have done so! Politely I will still have to disagree. I still believe that something has been lost and hence I cannot completely agree! I therefore politely digress.
There was a major public consultation and the only objections we heard were from people who didn't live here nor use the facilities. The road was too small for the ferry traffic and parking, the old sea wall was crumbling and needed raised due to increases in poor weather, and small boat operators couldn't use their boats in the winter as can't be insured on moorings. All these issues have been addressed, plus we have a area that people are using to sit, eat, play music, etc.
Thanks for keeping it quiet but afraid you have the wrong view of the project and the views of those living/working here. Come up and see it and speak to those living here rather than attack it and make up opposition that doesn't exist.

I originally thought, what a great way to save those houses from rising sea levels. Then the beautiful harbour appeared ❤ What a wonderful way to keep the community busy all year round. Well done! It looks really well managed 👍🏻
I've been buying Liverpool tide tables for 33yrs, there is NO evidence of 'Rising sea levels' in them. It is a myth.

Great to see Ullapool getting some development. It's a beautiful wee town. Thanks for creating the very interesting video.
Very welcome
What a vast change from 1964 when John and I manhandled our bikes up the ladder onto the dock from the ferry boat that brought us across Loch Broom. In those days you had to pull up the flag on a pole to call for the ferry! No pleasure sailors in the harbour then. Just a few fishing boats going about their daily work.
Sounds like a very different time indeed, live in Ullapool since 2006 and have seen it chance some since then.
Yes, the ferry was an open boat that was pretty well full with two bicycles and our bags! It seemed an awful long climb up the ladder with a bike over my shoulder. Lots of changes in the North of Scotland since those days, when most of the A roads were only single track with passing places and small turntable ferries where there are now bridges. Bed and breakfast was from 9shillings to 10/6d!

Is that the same RJ McLeod who made the new roads on Skye in the early/mid '60s?
I thought they had gone bankrupt during that contract.
Something happened as all sorts of machinery was left abandoned during the construction of said roads during this period?
I can remember it well, whole quarry plants, Atkinson low loader complete with a newish road roller on board, tractors, diggers. All sorts!!
@@WeeShoeyDuglesshi sorry not sure think RJM being going since 1950s.
It's so funny to watch all the diggers dart out as the tide drops and then run away quickly before it comes back in 😂
ahaha yeah very true, the tide played a big part.The time-lapse only shows the project from one angle, I would recommend you watch my other videos of the project to give you more insight.

Remember fishing off the pier in the 80s and the klondykers Eastern European factory ships coming in total rust buckets
Some propper engineering there... Still, we use Heras fence panels as gates, and they always fall down... lol
thanks for the comment :-)
Very Interesting. Can anyone tell me the purpose of the area which is dug out and a liner put in at around 5 mins into the video. The finished area doesnt seem to look any different from the rest.
Hi the inshore quay I believe will be developing over time.
Likely to prevent any plants taking root and breaking through the tarmac. My guess is that large tarmac area between benches and sea wall has dual purpose as pedestrian area and loading area for the new mooring spots. So it needs to remain flat, clear and accessible.
In germany from 2 months to 6 monts, and finaly finisht in 3 years. An cost 2828472 million Euro
lol :-)
Good time lapse video.
But I don’t really understand all that tarmac why not have two rows for boats.

CLICK BAIT🤬I thought this was heavy plant racing !!!!
ahahahha
What a bloody joke! 🤦🏻♂️ I hate that urban planning is still so car focused that people focussed. Not even some trees planted along the boundary of that awful car park to make it a little bit more bearable. I dread to think how much money was wasted on this.
Hi Ryan, I would recommend you watch my other videos related to the project and you will see why it was started and how much it cost. We are a small village in the Highlands that is a link to the outer Hebrides

Dont take this negatively, because little thoughts can make big difference. Provision for trees is not costly. Can easily hire an impoverished urban design student to design a much more people friendly urban space without any additional cost.
Typical construction. Slow start then everyone’s working over nights to get shit done 😂
Yep, it's amazing how completion bonuses and penalties for overrun come into sharp focus towards the end of agreed completion date. 😂😂
From the video's thumbnail, I thought it's gonna be construction vehicle racing
Ahaha that would be fun
Great engineering but the end result was disappointing. An awful amount of money spent as well.

The thumbnail made me think this was construction vehicle racing
Yeah racing mini diggers :-)
Anybody else find themselves breathing with the tide? Just me? Okay, lol
Lots of comments about the tide, earth breathing :-)
Glad I visited before they decided turn the beautiful harbour into a giant carpark
Money well spent. True it would look better with a few Palm trees. But they can be added later.

Great use of my tax payments worth every penny!
Amazing construction and engineering project. Not sure where it is located. I wonder how much this project cost? Amazing camera work. Thanks for posting
Hi it’s in a small village in the highlands of Scotland called Ullapool. It cost around 10 million and most of it by the Ullapool harbour trust, I have other videos relating to the project.
@@stevengourlay4503 thanks for your reply. Would love to go to Scotland one day
И не одного рубля не украли на строительстве.
Пишут тут про деревья. А вы в курсе что такое корни? У деревьев есть корни! Штука очень интересная. Особенно когда набережная. Весчь!
Yeah there have never been trees on shore street, it's a very harsh environment.
Looks like they hired Formula One drivers to operate the machines! 😁
Racing against the tide :-)
It is crazy how much power the moon has and it is even more crazier that humans can over come it!
Yeah the tide played a massive part in this project. You can find out more information on the project on links below.

Great time lapse, unfortunately all I see is a waste of money. I just wonder how many houses could have been built and how many homeless people could have been taken off the streets. I even wonder why this was done, and wonder why we have concrete jungles beside the coast.Those boats survived for decades with somewhere to moor, maybe it was for the rich. But in my opinion, if this was council money I would be refusing to pay my council tax.

@@stevengourlay4503 thank you I will do that.
@@stevengourlay4503 had a look, I may have jumped the gun a bit on my comment. Knowing that the harbour along with the road Scotland contributed eases my mind. I always think of those worse of than me. And am as poor as a bag of rusty nails. It does look lovely and am sure it will help local businesses. The next generation will benefit from it all and may take it forward for the water sports etc.
Still a great video regardless of my opinion. Seldom see anything like that these days.
If that was done in Australia that would have taken 10 years to do
Funny how some people are saying if it was Holldan or China it would be in a month :-). The time-lapse only shows the project from one angle, I would recommend you watch my other videos of the project to give you more insight.

Looks cool but fatal flaw shows it will sink one day unfortunately
Hi thanks for the comment, what do you think is the fatal flaw?
Уровень воды опускается и поднимается схоже на дыхание планеты.
Indeed the tide manes it look like it’s breathing
One year of work for a parking and 10 little boats ???
Hi I would recommend you watch the related videos for more insight into the project.
