Discover Port Logan

Port Logan is the quietest most beautiful place on earth. I write as a city bird when I say it's as near as you get to heaven without dying. Lapping waves, the best pub in Scotland and an appalling bus service that you don't mind because it's a great excuse to stay longer.

It's main claim to fame is being the setting for the BBC drama 2000 Acres of Sky but I should ignore that and go for the tasty ale, the fish pond, the botanic gardens and the wide open space.

More On Port Logan 

Port Nessock Bay is now all that remains of the western end of a strait that in post-glacial times separated the main part of what is now the Rinns of Galloway from three smaller islands to its south. There was a ruined pier in the bay in 1790, at which time kelp and samphire were gathered on the coast to the southStatistical Account of Scotland , vol 5, page 429; republished 1983.

The village was planned; it was created by Colonel Andrew MacDowall, the laird of Logan, in 1818. MacDowall erected a quay and bell tower designed by Thomas Telford, and a causewayed road leading to them. This causeway blocked the view to seaward of the existing houses on the Lower Road, whose inhabitants MacDowall expected to move to a new Upper Road; in the event, they welcomed the shelter it provided from the brisk onshore winds, and preferred to stay put, though subsequently most of them added a second storey so recovering some of the sea view.
