Subject notes
The size of fishing boats increased greatly in the decades which followed. The wooden pier on Loch Broom was replaced by a structure big enough to support several articulated lorries parked on it and the MV 'Isle of Lewis', over 100 metres in length, alongside. The village of Ullapool was planned by the British Fisheries Society in the late 18th century. In the 1970s it became the main port for Stornoway and the Isle of Lewis.
