Caledonian Macbrayne And Tourist Offices, 2 West Shore Street, Ullapool

This is a circa 1800 warehouse, possibly designed by Thomas Telford. It was later altered in 1978 by Robert Hurd & Partners. The building is a tall, wide two-storey structure originally comprising four bays, and was likely designed to serve the fishing industry.

The warehouse is faced in harled render and has three bays across its width. The south elevation features one wide and one narrow entrance, along with two small, asymmetrical windows at ground level. Three regularly spaced, small windows are located on the first floor. A long, modern stair window extends upwards from the ground floor to the roofline on the east gable. The roof is slate-covered.
