Portpatrick

Portpatrick

Portpatrick is a village amid steep cliffs

 on the extreme south-westerly tip of mainland Scotland.

Built next to the ruins of  Dunskey Castle,

the position of Portpatrick on the Rhins of Galloway 

offers views of the Northern Irish coast

from clifftop walks and beaches.  

The Gulf Stream gives a pleasant climate

enabling subtropical plantlife to flourish.

Originally a fishing village

the harbour remains the focal point of the village.
