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.
