Drumore, a seaport village in Kirkmaiden parish, SW Wigtownshire, on a small bay of its own name, at the W side of Luce Bay, 5 miles N by W of the Mull of Galloway, and 17½ S by E of Stranraer, with which it communicates daily by coach. It has a post office, with money order and savings' bank departments, 4 inns, a public school, a small harbour with a quay and good anchorage, and ruins of a castle, still habitable in 1684; and it carries on some small commerce in the export of agricultural produce, and the import of coals and lime.
