PORT-LOGAN, a village, in the parish of Kirkmaiden,
county of Wigtown, 15 miles (S. by E.) from
Stranraer; containing 2'23 inhabitants. It is situated
on the north-west coast of the parish, and has a small
quay or harbour, opening into the bay of Portnessock,
and chiefly used for shipping farm produce. Vessels of
any burthen may find safe anchorage in the bay, but
those only of smaller size can enter the harbour at low
water. Logan House, standing about a mile south-east
of the village, is a handsome modern mansion in an extensive
and richly-embellished demesne. There is a
post communication daily with Stranraer, three days in
the week by a gig merely, and on the other days by a
car which carries passengers. In the vicinity of this
place is a natural cavity in the rocks, into which the
tide enters at every flood, and in which are found various
kinds of fish.
