If you are looking for the perfect Scottish spot for a day trip or weekend getaway this spring, then Port Logan may be just what you are after.
Situated in the parish of Kirkmaiden in the Rhins of Galloway in Wigtownshire, Port Logan is a small village bursting with character and charm. Also known as Port Neasaig, it is a popular holiday destination—not least because of its sandy and scenic beach.
The Port Logan beach is worth a visit whether you are looking for a day out with the family or simply a peaceful walk. The harbour and lighthouse in particular are worth seeing, and are perfect spots to snap some stunning pics.
Among the other highlights of the village is undoubtedly the Port Logan Fish Pond, the oldest and most unique natural marine 'aquarium' in the UK. It is home to a diverse selection of sea fish and marine life, such as rays, cod, pollock, turbot, mullet, starfish, and hermit crabs.

The unusual attraction dates back to the 18th century, when it as constructed by expanding a natural blow hole in the rocks. Operating as a larder, fish were caught at sea and stored in the pond for the Laird of Logan.
Interestingly, the water in the pond is naturally changed by the tide through a filter. As stated on the Port Logan Fish Pond website, it is a "unique setting in which to see a wide variety of local sea life".
The Port Logan Fish Pond is open daily from 10am to 5pm. Admission is priced at £4 for adults and £3 for children under 16, though there are flexible admission rate packages available.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Artificial Intelligence has been increasingly in the news of late, with observers worried that it will soon become difficult for teachers to tell if students actually completed a project themselves (or a program did it for them), for anyone to recognize whether a supposed breaking evidential video is in fact a deepfake, and so forth. “The Artifice Girl,” however, frames the problems raised by ever-growing technological sophistication in a familiar narrative framework: that of the machine intelligence that begins to surpass its human “masters.” Unlike portrayals from “2001” to “Ex Machina” and beyond, however, Franklin Ritch’s debut feature does not treat that dynamic in thriller terms, as a hostile takeover. Instead, this smaller-scaled speculative fiction is more concerned with ethics, as pondered in a series of dialogue sequences that aren’t static but might also have worked on stage, and require nothing in the way of FX. The results may not be what fantasy fans in need of action and spectacle are looking for. But Ritch’s film, which won the Best International Feature Audience Award at Fantasia last year, is engaging food for thought for viewers willing to let ideas rather than visuals fire up their futuristic imagination. XYZ Films is releasing it April 27 to limited U.S. theaters, as well as on-demand and digital platforms.
Much has been made of the clash between King Charles' Coronation and his grandson Prince Archie's fourth birthday on May 6, with many questioning whether it would have any baring on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's attendance at the service.

As so little is publicly known about Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, well-wishers can only guess how they will celebrate the day based on details previously revealed in the couple's self-titled Netflix documentary series.
