  • 'Stranraer is a town in the south of Scotland in the west of the region of Dumfries and Galloway and in the county of Wigtownshire. Stranraer lies on the shores of Loch Ryan on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. The name is generally believed to come from the Scottish Gaelic "An t-Sròn Reamhar" meaning literally "The Fat Nose", but which more prosaically might be rendered as "the broad headland" - although another interpretation would connect the second element in the name with Rerigonium, a settlement anciently noted by Ptolemy in this part of Britain. Stranraer is an administrative centre for the West Galloway (Wigtownshire) area of Dumfries and Galloway. It is best known as a ferry port connecting Scotland with Belfast in Northern Ireland, and is a hub for one of the world's largest ferry operators, Stena Line. A person from Stranraer is a Stranraerarian; someone from the original, lochside, part of the town, including Sheuchan Street and Agnew Crescent - the Clayhole or, in local dialect Cl'yhole - is a Clayholer.
  • Stranraer (gälisch An t-Sròn Reamhar) ist eine Stadt im Westen des im Süden Schottlands gelegenen Unitary Authority Dumfries and Galloway. Vorher gehörte sie zur traditionellen Grafschaft Wigtownshire. Die Stadt hatte 2004 etwa 10.600 Einwohner (Schätzung). Stranraer liegt am Ufer der Bucht Loch Ryan im Norden der Landenge, die die Halbinsel Rhins of Galloway mit dem schottischen Festland verbindet. Der Name der Stadt kommt vom schottisch-gälischen "An t-Sròn Reamhar", was so viel wie fette Nase bedeutet. In Bezug auf die Lage des Ortes soll es aber breite Landenge bedeuten.
  • Stranraer in è una città della Scozia del sud, nella parte occidentale della regione di Dumfries e Galloway e nella contea dello Wigtownshire. Stranraer giace sulle rive del Loch Ryan sul versante nord dell'istmo che congiunge la Rhins of Galloway alla terraferma. Generalmente si ritiene che il nome derivi dal Gaelico scozzese "An t-Sròn Reamhar" che significa letteralmente "naso grosso", ma che più prosaicamente potrebbe essere reso con "ampio promontorio", ma un'altra interpretazione metterebbe in relazione Reamhar con Rerigonium, un insediamento notato da Tolomeo in questa parte della Britannia. Stranraer è un centro amministrativo della parte occidentale della regione di Dumfries e Galloway ed è più nota come porto dei traghetti che connettono la Scozia con Belfast in Irlanda del Nord.
