Publication Account (1995)

The High Kirk of Stranraer on Leswalt High Road, built two years after the 1841 parish church, is an imposing building with a fine bell tower. It once served as the Sheuchan church and is a reminder that the modern burgh of Stranraer is, in effect, an amalgamation of several smaller settlements.

Information from ‘Historic Stranraer: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1995).

Project (February 2014 - July 2014)

A data upgrade project to record war memorials.
