Stranraer Dumfries and GallowayWelcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Stranraer. The Stranraer hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Stranraer. From Stranraer you can explore the the Solway coast with miles of deserted sandy beaches, rocky coves and cliff-top paths; the Galloway Hills, an area of beautiful moors, mountains, lakes and rivers, and the Southern Upland Way, one of the most challenging long-distance footpaths in Scotland. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation.

Stranraer is the largest settlement in south west Scotland. It lies at the head of Loch Ryan, on the north side of the neck of land that prevents the Rhins of Galloway becoming an island. Stranraer's origins date back nearly 500 years to the building in 1511 of Stranraer Castle. It was only in the mid 1700's that a harbour was first built in Stranraer itself, and further port development took place in the 1820's. The coming of the railway from Dumfries in 1861 finally established Stranraer as the area's main port. Also see Stranraer.
