About this website
Places, history and practical travel information for Stranraer and the surrounding district.
What you can find here
The guides bring together introductions to towns and villages, coastal landscapes, historic places and the practical questions involved in a visit. The main focus is Stranraer, Loch Ryan and the Rhins of Galloway, with a few nearby places that can form part of a longer stay.
