Abstract/NotesThe Portencorkrie igneous complex, a trapezoidal area of plutonic rocks intrusive into Silurian sediments, is situated in the Rhinns district of Wigtownshire some sixteen miles south of Stranraer and about four miles north-west of the Mull of Galloway. It appears on the Geological Survey (Scotland) 1-inch Sheet 1, and lies within the Ordnance Survey 6-inch quarter-sheets Wigtownshire 33 S.W. and 37 N.W. To the north and south the igneous margin can be followed with fair accuracy, while to the east the boundary is obscured by drift. Westwards, the rocks pass beneath the Irish Sea.
