How to get to Stair Park, Stranraer

Travel Directions

Car From North:
 Head south, on the M77/A77, following signs for Ayr.
Keep travelling south, by-passing Ayr, until you reach the "Whitletts" roundabout. Follow the signs for Stranraer.
As you approach Stranraer (passing Girvan and Cairnryan on the way) get ready...
Take the first exit on the left into Stranraer (McMasters Road).
You will pass Stranraer Academy on your right.

Turn right onto London Road.  Continue on this road until you pass Stranraer Academy and Rephad Primary School on your right.
100 yards farther on you will see Stair Park on your left.

Turn left into Stair Park.

Parking is free at Stair Park.

From East:
Head west on the A75 towards Stranraer (from Dumfries)
After you see the sign "Welcome to Stranraer" the A75 now becomes London Road.

You will pass two schools on your right (Stranraer Academy and Rephad Primary). 100 yards farther on you will see Stair Park on your left.

Turn left into Stair Park.

Parking is free at Stair Park.

 

Public Transport

Trains

There are two trains from Glasgow Central station on Saturday that will get you to the game on time. The 8:28 train gets in at 11:11, while the 11:42 arrives at 13:56. You will see Stair Park when you enter the town on your right.

The return trains leave Stranraer at 19:40 and 21:10, and get into Glasgow Central at 21:55 and 23:28 repectively.

Stair Park is 15-20 minutes walk from the station.
Buses Stranraer is poorly served by buses, especially on match days. Consult the major company timetimes to see if a service is available.
Boat Stranraer is only 90 minutes away from Belfast by Stena Lines HSS ferry service. Take the 07:40 or 12:20 sailing from Belfast (arrives at 14:30) and it only costs £30 return. Return on the 19:35 sailing. I beleive that a special rate is given to Stranraer FC fans because Stena Line are the club sponsors. Ask for details.
