Portpatrick Harbour, Rhins of Galloway
Uploader's Comments
Portpatrick is small harbour with a narrow somewhat tricky entrance. It is set midway along the west coast of Galloway an area beset by strong tidal streams. Being only 14 miles away from the Irish coast The Rhins of Galloway is a 26 mile long peninsular, with Portpatrick located about midway For the modern day yachtsman or motor-boater, the inner harbour can offer decent shelter, perhaps except in very strong SW winds. There is enough water for most boats to remain afloat within, but the entrance channel has less than half a metre, entry and exit must be timed accordingly.
