* (Note)
I have made every enquiry relative to the proper name of this object.
"Barncorkrie" is the name of the Farm House (see Page 12) and Portencorkrie (without Bay affixed) of the Bay or
Harbour. I am given to understand that Korkrie means (in Gaelic) a place where the dead body of a King has been
found or buried, hence Barncorkrie, i.e. the Hill of Corkrie, and Portencorkrie i.e. The Port of Corkrie.
The above is from Mr. McNeil Caird of Stranraer, and also the intelligent inhabitants in the neighbourhood
