Housed in the former Town Hall, Stranraer Museum has extensive displays on the Arctic explorations of Sir John Ross and his nephew Sir James Clark Ross. In circa 1820, Sir John Ross built what is now part of the North West Castle Hotel. The early 20th Century arctic exploration gear seen here is only a tiny part of the Museum's collection and information on Stranraer Museum may be found: http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/article/15740/Stranraer-Museum
