Port Mòr is a picturesque bay located in the region of Argyllshire, Scotland. Situated on the western coast, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and is renowned for its natural beauty. The bay is nestled between rolling hills and cliffs, providing a sheltered haven for boats and a peaceful atmosphere for visitors.

The bay itself is characterized by its pristine sandy beach, which stretches for approximately half a mile and is perfect for leisurely walks or sunbathing. The clear turquoise waters of the bay are ideal for swimming and other water activities, attracting both locals and tourists during the summer months.

Port Mòr is also a popular spot for wildlife enthusiasts, as it is home to a diverse range of marine and bird species. Seals can often be spotted basking on the rocks, while seabirds such as gannets and puffins are frequently seen diving into the sea in search of fish.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, the bay offers excellent opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and sailing. The surrounding hills provide ample hiking trails, allowing visitors to explore the stunning coastal scenery and enjoy panoramic views of the bay and beyond.

Facilities in Port Mòr are limited, with only a small café and a few holiday cottages available for accommodation. However, this lack of development adds to the charm and tranquility of the area, making it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Burial ground by River Laggan, Islay This burial ground was last used to bury a sailor washed ashore about 1840. It has gradually been eroded and probably much of the site, which once contained an old chapel, is under the River Laggan. A cross-shaft and incised slab from this site are preserved in the Museum of Islay Life at Port Charlotte.
