Port William is a small harbour village on the west shore of Luce Bay in the Machars, founded in the 18th century by Sir William Maxwell as a planned fishing village.

The village has a sheltered harbour, a sandy beach and a row of whitewashed cottages along the waterfront that give it a quiet, coastal charm.

Port William sits on the Pilgrims' Way, the walking route that follows the coast from the Isle of Whithorn to Glenluce, retracing the medieval pilgrim path to Whithorn.

The village has a village shop, a pub and a caravan park and is a popular stopping point for visitors exploring the Machars peninsula.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
