CCRM
The Commercial Christmas Resistance Movement began at The Ceilidh Place in 2004. It’s remit to find an alternative to the excesses of the high street and provide a refuge from tinsel, turkey & canned carols. Instead we offer a wonderful buffet mostly of Middle Eastern style food, to which everyone is invited, and we ask for donations to help children through small organizations who work for better things.
Money raised this year will go to charities to aid famine in Yemen and Medical Aid for Palestine.

What Our Customers Say
Our History
The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool grew out of Broomview Cottage and was started in 1970 by the actor Robert Urquhart, who was born there in 1921.
He started a small café in the boatshed with aspirations that it became a place for eating, meeting, talking and singing. A place to be.
There were no guarantees, no promises, but maybe life could change here; that was the hope. There were magical nights when musicians played and hearts were broken. There were magical days when the summer sun shone on ‘til midnight. There was, it seemed, all of life in one small Ceilidh Place.
