Portpatrick

Nestled in a sheltered bay on the west Galloway coast, Portpatrick is a premier destination for holidays and short breaks, and as a stopover location for travellers to and from Ireland. Separated from the Emerald Isle by a 20 mile crossing of the North Channel, Portpatrick enjoys the twin benefits of a relatively sheltered location and the warming current of the Gulf Stream. Whatever your interests, the charms of Portpatrick and it's magnificent natural surroundings are sure to draw you back time after time.

The harbour itself is massively constructed from stone and uses the island in the centre of the bay as additional protection from the elements. The harbour now provides safe haven to fishing boats and pleasure craft, which come and go daily on the tides. The picaresque scene is complemented by the strongly constructed buildings along the seafront including several hotels, inns and a variety of small shops catering for the needs of locals and tourists. Welcoming but not brash, the town is a popular destination for discerning families and couples seeking the tranquillity and romance of the Scottish coast.
