Portpatrick

OH phoenix - that was funny!! You can imagine 'it' being transported in a wheelbarrow.....!

I really should stop this speed reading habit!

Phoenix that made me cry laughing!! Thank you

Oh heavens! I initially read the O.P. as "Portaprick", thought it was some sort of (ahem) special item for your luggage!

We were there for just one night, back in 1979, but we thought it was a lovely little place. We had a nice walk out around the harbour, and there was a little Caithness Crystal shop, don`t know if it`s still there, I still have the 2 tiny items I bought there, a seal and an angel fish.

Ah thanks Green that sounds lovely x

Portpatrick's lovely! There are some good coastal walks - (a really nice one along from the golf course and towards the lighthouse). Wigtown (not far away) is known as the 'Booktown'. Full of lovely little old bookshops and also has a market but not sure if that's only on a Saturday. Mull of Galloway is a lovely area, too - the lighthouse is open to visitors (hopefully still is), and there's a really nice restaurant there, too! I'm very jealous! We used to go down that way a lot. The wee fishing village of the Isle of Whithorn is on the Wigtown road, following out of Wigtown (A746) - that's worth a visit, too!
