Olympic torch goes through Stranraer
Nearly three weeks into its journey around the UK, the Olympic torch has been through Stranraer spending it's first night in our area. It has already visited England, Wales, the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland.
John and Edward proudly took the torch through the streets of Dublin.
The explorer Chris Bonington carried the torch to the top of Snowdonia in Wales.
It arrived on Scottsih soil and a self-confessed 'Mrs Stranraer' will became the first torch bearer from our area. She spoke to us about how excited she was:
The torch was brought into Stranraer on a ferry. Resting there overnight before continuing its journey north.
Next week it returns to our area, travelling down from Edinburgh to Alnwick on Thursday. Then Newcastle, where it will travel on a zip wire over the River Tyne. It will then spend nights in Durham and Middlesbrough before moving on to York, Carlisle, Dumfries and finally Bowness-on-Windermere.
From there, it carries on through the country to London for the start of the Olympic Games.
