Shellfish fans flock to Stranraer’s oyster festival

A festival celebrating the wild, native oyster beds of south west Scotland is on course to set a new attendance record.

The Stranraer Oyster Festival was held from Friday to Sunday in the former ferry town.

Organisers said they expected overall visitor numbers to have exceeded the previous record of 20,000 over the three days.

Launched in 2017 – the festival was developed partly to address the economic damage caused by the ferry port moving from Stranraer to nearby Cairnryan in 2011.
