Portscatho - seafront

Looking along the curving seafront of the village of Portscatho from the coastal street called "The Lugger". Lugger usually refers to a type of boat, but in this part of Cornwall it seems to be a common name for a coastal road or lane. Portscatho is situated on the eastern coast of the Roseland peninsula about 7miles (11km) south of Truro. Its name comes from the Cornish words for harbour or cove (porth https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#harbour ) and boats (skathow https://www.cornishdictionary.org.uk/?locale=en#boat ).
