Cairnryan Military Railway Car/Walking Tour

By June 1940 most of the ports in southern England were closed to ocean-going ships and Liverpool and Glasgow, the tow main military ports, threatened by air raids. Two secret alternative ports were constructed for emergency use. One was at Gairloch in the Firth of Clyde, the other, known as Military Port No. 2, was at Cairnryan. This is a rare opportunity to join a guided tour of the remains of the specially built military railway which served the port at Cairnryan. The tour will be led by experienced local historians Archie Bell, Stewart Crawford and David Hunter. Rough ground, stout footwear advised. (Awaits confirmation � ring Solway Heritage 01387 247543)
