	Fionnphort
		The village of Fionnphort which means 'Port of the White Sands', and pronounced 'fin-ny-firt' is on the south west peninsula of Mull, known as the Ross of Mull.
		The name Fionnphort refers to the splendid, white, sandy bay which is overlooked by Seaview providing a wonderful foreground to the Isle of Iona and its many stunning sunsets.
		Fionnphort is a small thriving community and is more than just a passing through point for the ferry across to Iona and the boat trips out to the Treshnish Isles – it is also the home and workplace to approximately 100 people.

	Sound of Iona Harbours Association
		Whilst the Fionnphort slipway has a small breakwater just the length of the ferry, there is no protection at all on the Iona side either for the ferry or it's passengers.
		There then followed further public meetings on Iona and in Fionnphort to confirm the level of support, as it was felt important that there should be broad support for such a move before any further efforts were made.
		On the Fionnphort side, the slipway is shared by the ferry, local fishing boats and tourist boat operators which at times causes problems with congestion..
