Located in the centre of Stranraer, this museum has a nice little prehistoric collection with tools and pots from the local area. We had a nice lunch in the nearby tartan cafe!

There are plenty of carparks nearby which are free but you need to get a disk to display in your window from a local shop. Parking is free but they charge you 20p for the toilets!
