Portskerra lies 1 mile (1½ km) northeast of Melvich, overlooking Melvich Bay to the east. There is a monument near the pier to men from the village drowned while fishing over the years The Drowning Memorial. Portskerra was the birthplace, in 1901, of Hugh Macintosh, a celebrated Gaelic poet (who in later life also wrote in English). There is an excellent beach and bejond Portskerra where there are massive cliffs alive with seabirds.
A bonny harbour looking over to Melvich Bay. The car park is large and beside it you will find The Drownings Memorial. You can drive right down to the harbour if you wish but i feel the car park is there for a reason. The road down is paved and steep so maybe a wee bit hilly for some coming backup.
The cache is a medium sizd box with a FTF card, logbook and swaps. There is plenty room for more swaps
