ID:QZP40_CARD_1472DESCRIPTION:A view of Loch Broom near Ullapool. Sheep are grazing in a field beside the loch. The name Broom comes from the Gaelic 'bhraoin', meaning 'place of rain showers'. Loch Broom is a long, narrow sea loch inlet that was once heavily fished for herring. Near the mouth of the loch, Ullapool provides a safe deep anchorage for fishing boats and the Ullapool-Stornoway car ferry.
The shores of Loch Broom are a mixture of woodland and rocky promontories and are noted for their many sheltered anchorages. It is thought that Loch Broom's landscape features are the result of glacial erosion. Both Loch Broom and Little Loch Broom occupy valleys which are thought to have been deepened by glaciation, resulting in their classic fjord-like shape.PLACENAME:Loch BroomOLD COUNTY/PARISH:ROSSSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:33394KEYWORDS:
