Scope and Content Ferry at Cairnryan Harbour, Dumfries & Galloway This view from the east-north-east taken in July 1998 shows a ferry to Northern Ireland leaving its terminal at Cairnryan. This is a 'Jetliner' twin-hulled High Speed Ship, of a type which has revolutionised services between the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland. The military harbour was kept open until 1957 for the dumping of World War II chemical warfare shells. Thereafter it was used for shipbreaking for a number of years. In the 1980s a ferry terminal was established by P & O, at first for conventional vessels, but from the late 1990s for the 'Jetliner' service. Cairnryan was until World War II a small settlement on the east side of Loch Ryan. From 1941 a military emergency port was constructed there, one of two on the west coast of Scotland, the other being Faslane on the Gareloch. The main pier of this port still survives.
