Port William

Travel Guide

Killantrae Burn. View from the High Street bridge, just to the right of 1760964 . Killantrae was the original name of the village, before it was redeveloped as Port William in the late 18th century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_William,_Scotland . The left bank is overgrown with Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), an invasive introduction from eastern Asia which is difficult to eradicate.

Lovely little village with magnificent views across the water. Only drawback is that there isn't a place to eat dinner, since the closure of The Clansman restaurant.
