Rhinns of Galloway

The Rhinns of Galloway are a hammer-head peninsula in the very west of Wigtownshire. Stretching more than 25 miles from north to south, its southern tip is the Mull of Galloway, the southernmost point of the county and of Scotland and its west shore is washed by the North Channel, across which lies Ulster.

The principal town is Stranraer at the head of Loch Ryan, but otherwise it has only little villages dotted up and down the peninsula, amongst them the small tourist village of Portpatrick on the west coast. (Read more)
