What a fantastic day we had on Saturday! The sun shone & 200 folk arrived to watch the unveiling of the new sculptures, led by the fabulous Ullapool Pipe Band, the World's Strongest Man Tom Stoltman, the sculptures' uber-talented designer Jason Paterson and our own Diane Rusling.
A huge, huge thank you to everyone who came out and to Tom, Jason, the band and everyone involved in putting this together. Itโs been a long and pandemic-delayed road to get here, but we couldnโt be happier with the end result!
So this afternoon @WelcomeUllapool staged a wonderful celebration to mark the launch of the new Ullapool entrance sculpture at the south entrance to the village. The sculpture was unveiled by the World's Strongest Man #TomStoltman, a memorable occasion. More pics to follow soon
At the grand unveiling of the new @WelcomeUllapool Ullapool entrance Sculpture opened by the World's strongest Man. Great atmosphere amongst the 200+ attendees.
Todayโs the day! Weโre officially unveiling the Ullapool Gateway Entrances at 2pm at Braes Layby, Ullapool, with designer Jason Paterson and Worldโs Strongest Man Tom Stoltman, and Ullapool Pipe Band leading us off. We canโt wait for you to join us!
This has been our latest and largest project to date. Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a new fishing port for herring, known as the โsilver darlingsโ, and we thought it would be a lovely welcome to all approaching the village to be greeted by a sculpture depicting that heritage.
Jason Paterson has created two magnificent sculptures for us that celebrate Ullapoolโs heritage... check it out!
OK, weโre not actually unveiling them yet. Youโll have to wait till Saturday to see them, but by then weโll be armed with glasses of bubbly, so every cloud. ๐
Weโre thrilled to have reigning Worldโs Strongest Man Tom Stoltman with us on Saturday for our big unveiling!
Itโs an honour to have him โcut the ribbonโ at the Ullapool Gateway Entrances. Hope youโve given your arms a rest Tom, not sure how heavy those big scissors will be. ๐
