Part of a harbour built 1815 from earlier natural harbour, enlarged and improved, 1838, 1842, 1843 and 1854. The 1838 pier and breakwater were financed by public subscription and cost £2,600. The Dumbie Breakwater was built at a cost of '300: it was, until storm damage in 1960s, neighboured by a cottage to the west named Breakwater Lodge. Ship building was established as a local industry at Garlieston around the natural harbour by 1810. (Historic Scotland)
