Portpatrick

united kingdom

Portpatrick perches on Dumfries and Galloway's coast, facing Ireland across choppy waters. Drive the A77 from Glasgow (130 miles) or pop over from Stranraer (8 miles) for dramatic clifftop views and a proper seaside village atmosphere. About 7 fast chargers serve visiting EVs. The old stone harbour, once Scotland's gateway to Ireland, now shelters pleasure boats beneath rows of colourful cottages.
