Portavogie harbour sign, Portavogie

A sign, on the Harbour Road, showing the harbour’s original name used by the Scots who settled in the Ards Peninsula. My understanding is that Portavogie was settled in the 17th century by families, from south western Scotland, who had a tradition of fishing. The harbour was a much later development.
