Portramsay, a village and a harbour on the NW side of Lismore island, Argyllshire, near its NE end, 10 miles N by E of Oban. The harbour, large and commodious, and affording one of the best anchorages on the Argyllshire coast, is protected by several islets in the offing, and may be entered by any of three different straits between the islets. Strangers, however, must be careful of some neighbouring rocks, scarcely visible at low water, and entirely covered when the tide is up.—Ord. Sur., sh. 45, 1876.
