Old Photographs Cairnryan Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Cairnryan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Cairnryan is notable these days for its two modern ferry terminals connecting Scotland to Northern Ireland. Into the 1800s, Cairnryan was an important staging post on the coach route to Ayr, Ayrshire, with half a dozen inns along this short stretch of coast. It also achieved a less desirable reputation as a haunt of highwaymen preying on that same passing traffic.
