Stranraer Ferry Port Information

Port of Stranraer is Scotland's gateway to Ireland, located at the mouth of the River Wyre on the southern tip of Loch Ryan, South West of Scotland. Stranraer is situated just over the English border, less than two hours from Glasgow.

Stenna Line operates the Stranraer Ferry Port Terminal and Port of Stranraer offers excellent passenger and freight facilities.

Ships leave for Belfast from the East Pier of the Stenna Line Ferry terminal, where the railway station is also located. The bus station is on Port Rodie. The fast Stenna HSS Catamarans leave for Belfast from the West Pier. Five miles north of Stranraer is the port of Cairnryan where P&O Irish Sea Ferries operates its Cairnryan to Larne service.

Stranraer serves as a market town, seaport, garrison town and administrative centre. Stranraer town centre is surprisingly attractive and bustling and also serves as the gateway to the Rhins of Galloway; roads from here head north to Leswalt and south past Drummore to the Mull of Galloway, Scotland's most southerly point. To the west lies Portpatrick, now a beautiful resort complete with harbour. The Southern Uplands Way long distant footpath provides another link with Portpatrick.
