  • Stranraer is OK to live in, low wage area, 80 miles from Glasgow but you can get cheap day return £15.00 for Belfast. Nice coastal area, golf, fishing, gun clubs, but most of these things cost money. House prices so so.

  • Stranraer is set in undiscovered country the views are something to be enjoyed. Not only do we have the benefit of living on the coast we also are surrounded by lovely countryside, There are many pursuits to be enjoyed and we ae priviledged to be living close to wonderful walks such as the renouned "Southern upland Way" we also have Sailing, Fishing, Golf, Horse riding and much more. We have a local football team (still in the third divison but striving for more) we have excelent primary schools and a secondary school. The local leisure centre has all you could require including a theatre and cinema. Do I like living here? YES most certainly the locals are a very friendly bunch and are very welcoming to strangers.

  • I would suggest that you look at the local authorities’ website or police.gov to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website which gives you an up to date overview of the area. I would also visit the area and ask some locals.
