About Ballantrae

Ballantrae is a small coastal village on the A77 trunk road in South Ayrshire, positioned between Glasgow and the Stranraer ferry terminals. The village sits where the road meets the shore, making it a natural waypoint for journeys to Northern Ireland via Cairnryan. With approximately 6 EV charging points nearby and local routes connecting to Colmonell and Lendalfoot, it serves both long-distance travellers and coastal communities. The old stone harbour, once busy with herring fleets, now shelters mainly pleasure boats.
