Stranraer is the gateway to the Rhinns of Galloway. It holds a rich history as a bustling ferry port connecting south-west Scotland to Northern Ireland.

The Castle of St John is an iconic landmark in Stranraer. It dates back to 1500 and stands proudly in the heart of the main street.

If you have time, I would visit Castle Kennedy Gardens, which is located 3 miles east of the town. It has a magnificent castle, two lochs, a grand lily pond, and an avenue of beautiful monkey puzzle trees.
