Stranraer lies on the shores of Loch Ryan on the northern side of the isthmus (strip of land connecting two larger land areas), joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. The name is generally believed to come
from the Scottish Gaelic "An t-Srn Reamhar" meaning literally "The Fat
Nose", but which more prosaically might be rendered as "the broad headland"
- although another interpretation would connect the second element in the
name with Rerigonium, a settlement anciently noted by Ptolemy in this part
of Britain.
