After the music festival of Loopallu in September, they made a huge heap of wooden debris and pallets on the shores of Loch Broom. This flat grassy area is the lower of two raised beaches (the result of changing levels in sea and land) on which Ullapool is built; we are standing on the older, upper level.
Mesmerised by the blazing then slowly collapsing bonfire, we were all taken unawares when the fireworks began to erupt from the left. There was a smaller display at the house across the loch; but the Ullapool display was splendid, with a sky-filling grand finale of white light. We felt a bit mean about the couple of quid we'd each put in the collector's bucket, so before we went home Greger went and put some more money in.
