Bualnaluib is a tiny hamlet set close to the village of Aultbea which lies some five miles north of Poolewe on the northeastern shore of Loch Ewe, in a particularly attractive area of the West Coast. Aultbea has a general store, two churches and a hotel. There is also a small harbour at Aird Point and a Naval refuelling station a few miles out of the village. It was a gathering place during the Second World War for the Russian convoys to Murmansk.

Ullapool offers further facilities, and Inverness has a good range of facilities commensurate with a major regional centre. These include a modern shopping centre, hotels, restaurants, hospital, theatre, cinemas and a mainline railway station. Inverness airport is the nearest to Aultbea and has a variety of services.

Aultbea is a popular tourist area and there are endless opportunities for recreational activities. The West Coast offers some spectacular scenery together with several local Munros. The Inverewe Gardens at Poolewe are an added attraction with the amazing collection of plants made possible by the warming effect of the Gulf Stream.
