The Portpatrick Hotel

The Portpatrick Hotel was opened in 1905, designed by architect J.K. Hunter from Ayr. The village of Portpatrick is situated on the West Coast of the Rhins of Galloway, facing southwest towards Ireland. It lies at the mouth of a valley formed by the Dinvin Burn, providing easy access to the rest of Scotland. Portpatrick became important due to its location, commanding the shortest sea route from Ireland to Britain.
