Portscatho - seafront Looking along the curving seafront of the village of Portscatho from the coastal street called "The Lugger". Lugger usually refers to a type of boat, but in this part of Cornwall it seems to be a common name for a coastal road or lane.
Portscatho is situated on the eastern coast of the Roseland peninsula about 7 miles (11km) south of Truro. Its name comes from the Cornish words for harbour or cove  (porth <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#harbour" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#harbour">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ) and boats (skathow <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#boat" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#boat">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ).
