Nothing now remains of the East Port, which was pulled down in 1761 (Wigtown Official Guide 1959).
It is pretty certain that it was opposite the present British Linen Bank office at the extreme foot of the town. It was similar to the West Port (NX45NW 17).
G Fraser 1877
The British Linen Bank formerly stood at NX 4352 5542 (OS 1:1056 plan of 1848 in bowling green pavilion).
Visited by OS (RD) 19 August 1970.
