Portvoller
Portvoller ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Port Mholair)) is a small village on the north tip of the Eye Peninsula (also known as Point), on the Isle of Lewis in northwestern Scotland. It is from the Outer Hebrides' only town, Stornoway Portvoller is situated on the A866.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A866 )〕 Portvoller is within the parish of Stornoway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewis, Portvoller )〕
== About the village ==
Portvoller contains a butcher〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Butchers in the Hebrides )〕 and a nursery, but its most prominent feature is the Tiumpan Head Lighthouse, which is located at the northernmost tip of the village.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lewis, Tiumpan head Lighthouse )〕 The village also has two churches, one practicing the Free Church faith and the other Church of Scotland (although the latter has now been decommissioned).
Portvoller is also near some of the Western Isles' best fishing waters, especially rock fishing or beach casting. The headlands that are most popular for these pursuits are known locally as Billy Mor (''Bilidh Mhor'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canmore )〕 and Foitelair (''Foitealar'').〔 These two fishing hotspots are found about five minutes' walk from the now ruined Portvoller slipway—a walk that can be a treacherous clamber after a squall or downpour. The Portvoller slipway is also near to small and secluded Shinega (''Sinigeadh'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=More Background Information )〕 beach.
