SOLE BURN

This burn meets the sea = Cairn Ryan
During World War II the loch was busy with wartime activity. Cairnryan became "No. 2 Military Port", an important secondary large-scale port facility that was available for use should facilities on the Mersey and the Clyde became unavailable due to enemy bombing.
It was the base for many flying boats Sunderland, Consolidated Catalina and local name Stranraer.
Most transatlantic traffic came this way and several airfields were built to offer alternative fields.
The ferry to NI can just be seen in dock on the opposite shoreline.
Garden centre and a little garden turf shifting. Risotto for supper.
Mixed weather with a blustery NW wind.
