Port Henderson is a small crofting hamlet near Gairloch in Wester Ross. The best way to travel in the Highlands is by car (Hertz and Thrift rental in Inverness) the railway doesn't access the North West and there isn't a very regular bus service. The main hub of access to the area is the city of Inverness, which has a national airport, bus and rail links and trunk roads to Aberdeen in the East and Perth to the south.

For walkers not only does Gairloch lie just on the Western fringe of the infamous “Wilderness” tract of unspoilt mountainous land, it can also boasts Torridon just to the South and Coigach and Assynt by Ullapool to the North. These areas have some of the best mountains in Scotland, with a large number of Munro’s (mountains over 3,000 feet) and many other great climbs of lesser heights to attract rock climbers and walkers. On lower ground, there are many great walks around the many lochs and glens that offer panoramic views to the hills and across the sea to Skye. Other activities to undertake include watersports at Badachrobay and Sheildaig bay, fishing in the rivers, Ewe, Badachro and Kerry, or salmon fishing in one of the Lochs.
