[Situation] In the S.W. [South West] Side of the Parish of Port Patrick & , About 5 1/2 miles S.W. [South West] of the town of Stranraer
A Small Seaport town or considerable village the greater part of which is of modern erection. Owing to the great improvement of the harbour of late years the town has much increased. It is Situated on low ground and Surrounded on the land Side by hills or high ground & precipitous declivities. - This place being the nearest port or landing place in Scotland to the coast of Ireland a regular post office communication has been established since 1602 but then it was only once a week; during later years a Steam boat plies between this port and Donaghadee once every day for the transmission of the mails. - The harbour in its natural or unimproved State was very unfit for the accommodation of vessels Scarcely fit to Shelter Small fishing boats being only a mere inlet or Small creek between rocks, to remedy this inconvenience a fine pier was built (See article "Old Pier") and on it a reflecting light house this in latter years when Steam navigation became prevalent was insufficient and another project of greatly improving the harbour was formed and the work begun in 1821 under the authority of parliament. - On the South of the harbour a very fine pier has been built extending a considerable distance into the deep beyond the Old Pier on its extremity was built a new Light house on an improved plan on the north Side the harbour has been also improved by the erection of another which is in an unfinished State owing to almost insurmountable difficulties arising from the want of money leaving the works in an unfinished State the tide having Continually broken and damaged the end of the pier during the progress of the work. - The total expense to the government of these works Since 1822 to the beginning of the present year was £170,601. 15. 9 1/2. - At the north end of [Continued over the page] |

[Continued] the town is the Parish Church erected in 1843 and is a [handsome] Stone building. - At the N E [North East] side of the town is the Free Church. In town there is a respectable and Commodious Inn where the nobility [&] gentry passing to and from Ireland at this place are accommodated (See article Gordon's Hotel) there are also 2 or 3 respectable public houses which afford accommodation to travellers there are in all 9 public houses in the town; a mail coach arrives here every day from Dumfries & once [departed] daily to the Same place also a mail car arrives daily from Ayr and another departs carrying with it the Glasgow Mail. - In the town there is a custom [house] Subject to the customs house and Port of Stranraer. - There is but very little [trade] or commerce carried on at this place but there is a good fishery along the [coast] which gives employment to a great number of the inhabitants of the town. On [the] south side of the town is a Spring of Strong Chalybeate water which flows at all [times] in a Small but regular Stream from the rock. |
