Dumfries And Galloway
Dumfries and Galloway ( sco, Dumfries an Gallowa; gd, Dùn Phrìs is Gall-Ghaidhealaibh) is one of 32 unitary council areas of Scotland and is located in the western Southern Uplands. It covers the counties of Scotland, historic counties of Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire, the latter two of which are collectively known as Galloway. The administrative centre and largest settlement is the town of Dumfries. The second largest town is Stranraer, on the North Channel (Great Britain and Ireland), North Channel coast, some to the west of Dumfries. Following the 1975 reorganisation of local government in Scotland, the three counties were joined to form a single regions and districts of Scotland, region of Dumfries and Galloway, with four districts within it. The districts were abolished in 1996, since when Dumfries and Galloway has been a unitary local authority.

Port Logan
Port Logan, formerly Port Nessock, is a small village in the parish of Kirkmaiden in the Rhins of Galloway in Wigtownshire. The Gaelic name is Port Neasaig. Port Nessock Bay is now all that remains of the western end of a strait that in post-glacial times separated the main part of what is now the Rinns of Galloway from three smaller islands to its south. There was a ruined pier in the bay in 1790, at which time kelp and samphire were gathered on the coast to the south. The village was planned; it was created by Colonel Andrew MacDowall (Douall), the laird of Logan, in 1818. MacDowall erected a quay and bell tower designed by Thomas Telford, and a causewayed road leading to them. This causeway blocked the view to seaward of the existing houses on the Lower Road (Laigh Row), whose inhabitants MacDowall expected to move to a new Upper Road; in the event, they welcomed the shelter it provided from the brisk onshore winds, and preferred to stay put, though subsequently most of the ...

List Of Sea Lochs Of Scotland
: ''For a list of Scottish bodies of freshwater please see List of lochs in Scotland.'' ''Map of sea Lochs of Scotland compiled from this list'' :See the list of places in Scotland for other places. There are numerous sea lochs around the Scottish coast, notably down the length of Scotland's western coast. A sea loch is a tidal inlet of the sea which may range in size from a few hundred metres across to a major body of seawater several tens of kilometres in length and more than 2 or 3 kilometres wide. Other tidal inlets include firths, voes and bays. The term "firth" is used in Orkney and Shetland to denote inlets of the sea of the type which might be labelled as lochs elsewhere in Scotland.

Abdiel-class Minelayer
The ''Abdiel'' class were a class of six fast minelayers commissioned into the Royal Navy and active during the Second World War. They were also known as the ''Manxman'' class and as "mine-laying cruisers". These ships were armed with a wide variety of defensive weapons from machine guns to the main armament. They were also equipped with a wide array of radars, along with their normal complement of mines. They were easily mistaken for destroyers. Half the class was lost through enemy action during the Second World War; the others saw post-war service, and the last example was scrapped in the early 1970s. Design The Royal Navy ordered the first four ships in 1938, with a further two acquired as part of the War Emergency Programme. They were specifically designed for the rapid laying of minefields in enemy waters, close to harbours or sea lanes. As such they were required to be very fast and to possess sufficient anti-aircraft weaponry to defend themselves if discovered by en ...
