Not to be confused with boisterous Fort William in the highlands, Port William is an oasis of tranquility in the far south west of Scotland. The village is situated in an idyllic spot on the Galloway coast, facing Luce Bay with views across to the Mull of Galloway and the Isle of Man. It boasts one of Scotland's most evocative sculptures: "The Man" by Andrew Brown. Every visitor is compelled to spend at least a moment standing aside The Man, gazing out to sea. All that contemplation makes you hungry, so head to The View, a community cafe linked to PIRSAC, Port William's voluntary inshore lifeboat service. If you like Cornwall, but hate the crowds, then you'll love Port William.
