Cairnryan Harbour
Cairnryan Harbour is a roll-on ferry terminal on Loch Ryan in south west Scotland north of Stranraer.
In World War II it was developed as an emergency west coast port facility, in case Liverpool or the Clyde ports were put out of commission by enemy action.
==Portpatrick at first==
Portpatrick, on the western side of the Rinns,〔Sometimes spelt Rhins〕 had long served as a port for a short sea route from Donaghadee in the north of Ireland. Since 1620 the route had been used for importing cattle and horses, and for the transfer of military personnel. Later mail transit for the Post Office mails developed, by 1838 8,000 to 10,000 letters passed through the port daily, brought by coach from both Dumfries and Glasgow.
However the small harbour was cramped and exposed to westerly winds. Although Government funding had been promised for improvements space for substantial expansion was limited. Also the development of more attractive alternative routes, in particular from Holyhead to Kingstown, (renamed Dún Laoghaire) led to a loss of commitment to Portpatrick.〔R R Cunningham, ''Portpatrick Through the Ages'', Wigtown Free Press, Stranraer, 1977〕
