Muck's Big Door, Little Door and Midlle Door

"Access to Muck is notoriously difficult as you have to turn into the Atlantic swell before you reach the sheltered harbour at Port Mòr and there are three ways of negotiating it.

"The Dorus Mòr (the Big Door) is the main entrance to Port Mòr which Murdoch MacKenzie describes in detail in his Rutter of 1776. The Dorus Beag (the Little Door) is the most westerly exit from Port between the sunken rock and the Castle shore.

"It could be used to get out from Port when the swell prevented the use of the Dorus Mòr, but you had to know what you were doing, otherwise you’d hit the Minister‘s rock! In between is the Dorus Meadhanach (the middle Door) which has a rock, An Cuilean (the puppy) further out. It is the fantasy channel… used in the painting which is in CalMac's Loch Nevis!”
