	Portmahomack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Portmahomack (Scottish Gaelic: Port Mo-Chalmáig) is a small fishing village in Easter Ross, Scotland.
		Recently, excavations by Professor Martin Carver of the University of York (Carver, 2006), have confirmed Portmahomack is the site of a major Pictish monastery, probably a daughter house of Iona.
		The unusually large elaborate late 17th/early 18th bell-turret on the west gable of the church is an unusual and distinctive feature.

	Portmahomack Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Portmahomack grew as a fishing village which at its peak in the 1830s was home to over 100 fishing boats supporting a large onshore fish curing industry.
		The village itself climbs a slight hill behind the bay, and on a sunny afternoon the whites and greens of the harbourside buildings combine with the beautiful blue of the sea to give an impression that could have come from Cornwall or, with a little stretch of the imagination, the South of France.
		Portmahomack also boasts two hotels, a shop and a post office, and while it can't compete for facilities with Tain, ten miles or so to the west, it has everything you might want on a quiet day out.
