Clanyard, a bay of Kirkmaiden parish, SW Wigtownshire. The bay opens from the Irish Channel, to the N of Laggantalluch Head, 5½ miles NW of the Mull of Galloway; and, triangular in outline, measures 2¼ miles across the chord, and 1 mile thence to its inmost recess. It lies thoroughly exposed to all winds from the SE to the NNW. See Castle Clanyard.
