Getting to Port Mòr
Getting to Port Mòr is an adventure! In 2005, a special pier and a causeway were built here. A pier is like a long walkway built out into the water, allowing boats to dock safely. A causeway is a raised road or path across water or wet ground. These structures were very important because they made it possible for the ferry to easily reach the island. The ferry is the main way people and supplies get to and from the Isle of Muck.
