Cottage at Port Henderson Port Henderson is a crofting community to the south of Loch Gairloch. The cottage is beside a minor road north of the B8056 and appears to have been renovated in recent times; it&#039;s doubtful if its present owner(s) follow a crofting life, it being more likely a holiday home now.
