About Stranraer - show infohide info
Stranraer is a town in the South West of Scotland in the county of Dumfires and Galloway. It lies on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhinns of Galloway to the mainland. Stranraer is one of the administrative centres for the region, but it best known for being a busy ferryport, which connects Belfast and Larne to mainland Scotland. In 2003, Stena line moved its services from Stranraer to a new port at Old House Point, north of Cairnryan. Later Stena and P&O announced an agreement to share Cairryan port. This saves 20 minutes on each return sailing of the HSS (High Speed Ship) catamaran, which is obliged to slow considerably to enter Loch Ryan. This has allowed Stena Line to increase sailings to Belfast from 4 to 5 daily return services. The Old Town Hall, built in 1776, now houses Stranraer Museum with its displays of Victorian Wigtownshire and the town's polar explorers, Sir John Ross and his nephew James Clark Ross. The Castle of St. John is a medieval tower house, built around 1500 by the Adairs of Kilhilt. It has been used as a home, a court, a prison and a military garrison, the latter during the Killing Times in the 1680s. Stranraer has a rail service, seeing seven daily trains to Glasgow Central, plus one to Newcastle-upon-tyne, and a late night service to Ayr. Nearby towns to Stranraer include Dunragit, Lochans, Kirkcolm, Castle Kennedy, Portpatrick, Sandhead and Cairnryan.
