From the Wikipedia article
Port Henderson (Scottish Gaelic: Portaigil) is a fishing village on the south west shore of the Gair Loch near the village of Gairloch, Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. The fishing village was created by Hector Mackenzie as locally grown crops were not sufficient to feed the village population. The villages of South Erradale and Opinan are located directly south from the village along the B8056 coast road.
