For our final day, with a good forecast, we headed to Portpatrick to walk along the coast to the lighthouse at Black Head. The weather had other plans though and we were met by fog. An enjoyable walk, but the views could have been better - and it would have helped if we hadn't been peppered by shot from the estate's clay pigeon shoot as we crossed Port Mora beach! Predictably, the sun came out as we returned to the carpark, so we then headed off to Loch Ryan and had a splendid walk along The Scar, which is a shell covered spit at the northern end of Wig Bay.
