	Cairnryan Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Cairnryan is a linear settlement looking across the main A77 road to Loch Ryan.
		Until the 1800s Cairnryan was an important staging post on the coach route to Ayr, with half a dozen inns along this short stretch of coast.
		In the 1940s Cairnryan was turned into a military port by the Americans, and it still has the 700m long jetty built at the time.

	Cairnryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cairnryan is a small Scottish village overlooking Loch Ryan and is notable today for its large modern ferry port, operated by PandO, which links Scotland with Larne in Northern Ireland.
		During the Second World War, Cairnryan became No.2 Military Port, and three harbour piers and a military railway linking the village with nearby Stranraer were built by the army.
		All traffic using the North Channel route will be passing through Cairnryan, potentially causing significant congestion, noise and inconvenience.

	Loch Ryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town of Stranraer is the largest settlement on its shores, with boats operating both from the town and from the village of Cairnryan further north on the loch.
		Cairnryan became No. 2 Military port, an important secondary large-scale port facility that was available for use should facilities on the Mersey and the Clyde became unavailable due to enemy bombing.
		Other wartime activity on the loch included construction of target rafts made out of wood and cork, which were built in Stranraer then floated out the Loch and round the Rhins of Galloway to their positions in Luce Bay for bombing practice (operating out of West Freugh).

	Cairnryan Ferry Port - EuroDrive
		Cairnryan was first established as Lochryan in 1701, at the time when Lochryan House was built at the northern end of today's village.
		In the 1860s, a railway was built form Northern Ireland to Stranraer; had it gone instead to Cairnryan it would have turned the town into a main port for passenger services.
		As a result of a Gulf stream flow, Cairnryan and the region have a mild climate, which allows the growth of a number of superb gardens.

	Cairnryan Bed and Breakfast: History of Cairnryan village
		Until the 1800's Cairnryan was a staging post stop on the stage coach route to Ayr.
		That railway was to be of significant importance as during the Second World War, the Americans turned Cairnryan into a military port with a military railway branch line from the already existing main line.
		The rationale behind this is to avoid the extra 4 mile each way journey down Loch Ryan to Stranraer where speed has to be limited and the nature of the port at Stranraer delays the sailing further by requiring the ferries to turn around to reverse into their berth.

	Cairnryan Military Port (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The breakers yard at Cairnryan has witnessed the final days of many famous ships including aircraft carriers such as HMS Ark Royal as well as humbler merchantmen and smaller warships.
		However there has been far more to the history of Cairnryan military port than shipbreaking; built hastily in wartime as a massive construction project by a labour force of thousands, the port has hardly been used for its original purpose.
		Cairnryan was also used for thirteen years as a base for the offshore disposal of surplus wartime munitions.
