| PORTRUSH, CO. ANTRIM.- The native Irish called the above town by the Gaelic form of Port-ruis, meaning "the landing place of the peninsula"-a most appropriate designation, as, indeed, most Irish phrases of description are. it is a delightful little place, of, perhaps, 1,200 inhabitants, and is situated in one of the choicest spots on the Antrim coast, three miles, or thereabout, from the Castle of Dunluce, from which it is approached by a fine road, passing by the White Rocks, at an elevation of some four hundred feet above the sea. |
