Cairnryan

Cairnraine – a small Scottish village on the Irish Sea opposite Northern Ireland, separated from Belfast by a strait less than 40 km wide. The settlement was founded in the 18th century and evolved from an estate; today there are quite a few small hotels for recreational use. Cairnraine harbor developed during World War II for the transshipment of military cargo, now it retains its importance, but for civilian purposes.

The P&O Ferries terminal, from which ferries depart for Larne, is south of the village.
