Portnaguran

Portnaguran (Scottish Gaelic:"Port nan Giuran") in Point, Isle of Lewis is the township at the north-easternmost point of the peninsula. It lies one mile (1.5 km) southwest of Tiumpan Head and just south of the headland called "Geòdha 'ic Sheòrais" or sometimes Small Head amongst locals.

There is a small pier in the harbour, and the surrounding villages are Portvoller, Broker, Aird and Flesherin. The village itself is about 12 miles from the town of Stornoway.
