About Stranraer

Stranraer is a town in Inch, Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. It lies on the shores of Loch Ryan, on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the territory. Stranraer is Dumfries and Galloway's second biggest town, with a populace including the encompassing region of almost 13,000.

Stranraer is an authoritative community for the West Galloway Wigtownshire region of Dumfries and Galloway. It is best known as having been a ship port, already interfacing Scotland with Belfast and Larne in Northern Ireland; the last administration was exchanged to close-by Cairnryan in November 2011. The primary ventures in the territory are the ship port, with related enterprises, tourism and, all the more customarily, cultivating.

Some contend that the name originates from the Scottish Gaelic A t-Sròn Reamhar signifying "The Fat Nose", yet which all the more mundanely may be rendered as "the wide headland". The most ordinarily acknowledged clarification is that it gets its name from the strand or consume which separates the line, crude, of houses on its banks. In time Strandraw was named and spelled Stranrawer, and a short time later Stranraer.
