Scope and Content Harbour, Portnancon, Highland This harbour seems to have been constructed as part of the Sutherland Estate improvements of the mid 19th century. It consists of a long rubble pier with a wood-piled extension at the end. At the shore end is a two-storey warehouse. This view shows the landward end of the pier, with the ramped section in the centre which was probably used for loading cattle. Behind it is a two-storey warehouse, in Sutherland Estate style, which probably stored rents paid in grain. This harbour is situated on Loch Erribol, and is the only significant one in this part of Sutherland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
