About this property
Private garden
Wet room
Double glazing
Port William is a charming and peaceful coastal village located in Dumfries and Galloway, in the southwest of Scotland. Perched on the eastern shore of Luce Bay, it offers sweeping sea views, often stretching as far as the Mull of Galloway and even Northern Ireland on particularly clear days. The village is surrounded by gently rolling farmland and rugged coastline, creating a tranquil setting that appeals to visitors seeking a slower pace of life and a connection with nature. The village was established in the 18th century as a planned settlement by Sir William Maxwell of Monreith, who aimed to promote trade and fishing in the region. Today, Port William still retains its maritime character, with a small harbour that is home to a few fishing boats and leisure craft. One of the most striking features of the village is the bronze statue of a fisherman standing on the harbour wall, gazing out to sea. Known locally as "The Man Looking Out to Sea, " the statue serves as a poignant reminder of the community's close ties to the sea. Port William offers a range of amenities including a village shop, café and accommodation such as bed and breakfasts. The village is also a gateway to exploring the natural beauty of the area. Luce Bay is a designated Special Area of Conservation, rich in marine life and bird species. Seals, porpoises, and seabirds are often seen from the shore, making it a rewarding destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
Nearby attractions include the ancient Whithorn Priory, one of the earliest Christian sites in Scotland, and the dramatic cliffs and lighthouse at the Mull of Galloway. The wider region is also home to Galloway Forest Park, a designated Dark Sky Park ideal for stargazing.
Port William combines natural beauty, historical depth, and quiet charm, making it a memorable stop along Scotland’s often-overlooked south-western coastline.
