Right at the tip of Islay’s Rinns, Portnahaven is a horseshoe of white cottages around a natural harbour where grey seals haul out on the rocks - often close enough to watch from the shore. It shares its bay with the near-identical village of Port Wemyss next door. The end of the A847, about as far south-west as Islay goes.
