Port-An-Eorna is the Scottish Gaelic name for the small settlement of Barleyport, situated almost midway between Plockton and the Kyle Of Lochlash , in Ross-shire , Scotland , in the Western Highlands . Port-An-Eorna was once a Fishing community near Duirinish , an area of common grazing for Sheep and Highland Cattle . Now it is a cluster of a few houses on Scottish Trust land, in an area of spectacular natural beauty. Port-An-Eorna is a natural, white sand beach covered at present by seaweed, but soon to be restored by its local residents. ''Eorna'' means "barley" or "wheat" in Scottish Gaelic . It enjoys an open view across to the Cuillin Mountains on the Isle Of Skyle , as well as vistas across Loch Carron , to the Applecross Peninsula . Port-An-Eorna is the home of a special resident heron, called "Harry", and is only a mile from the railway station at Duirish (on the Kyle to Inverness rail service). Duirinish, the home community for Port-An-Eorna, is also the home of a Belgian artist that has made her home in this community. EXTERNAL LINKS
