Cairnryan

Cairnryan s strung out along the coast of Loch Ryan. Between the main road and the coast is a complex of car parks, piers, jetties and offices, as this small village is the Scottish terminus of the ferries to Northern Ireland. It was developed as a port during World War II, and had a breaker’s yard. It was here that the famous aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal was scrapped.

The Atlantic U boat fleet surrendered in Loch Ryan in 1945, and were berthed at Cairnryan before being taken out into the Atlantic and sunk.
