Harport, a ramification of Loch Bracadale on the SW side of the Isle of Skye, in Inverness-shire. It deflects to the SE; extends to a length of about 6 miles; separates the lower part of Minginish district from the main body of Skye; affords safe harbourage to vessels; and receives at its head a torrent of about 4 miles in length, descending from the Cuchullin Mountains.
