More than just
a ferry port...
Stranraer is an attractive market town and ferry port in south-west Scotland.
There are regular Stena sailings from Stranraer to Belfast (the shortest ferry crossing to and from
Ireland).
The town, with a population of around 12,000, is at the southern end of the magnificent Loch
Ryan basin and is the intersection of the A75 from Gretna/M6 motorway and the North of England and the M77 coastal
road to Ayr, Glasgow and the Central Belt.
The town is also served by a rail link to Ayr, Kilmarnock, Glasgow
and beyond and is the perfect location from which to explore all that this part of Galloway has to offer including Scotland’s
Land’s End, the spectacular Mull of Galloway with its RSPB Visitor Centre and Restaurant;
the Royal Botanic Gardens at Port Logan, Scotland’s most exotic gardens where many Southern Hemisphere
plants thrive in the warm Gulf Stream air and a variety of picturesque harbour villages and great golf
courses.
Stranraer itself has the superb Agnew Park overlooking Loch Ryan which has a
boating lake, miniature railway and pavilion; a museum charting the history
of the area, St John’s Castle in the town centre, a host of shops and two supermarkets.
Close
to the Royal Hotel, there are also several good restaurants.
