During WWII locations around Garlieston including the harbour and nearby Rigg Bay were test sites for three Mulberry Harbour prototypes.
This area of the Solway Firth was selected because tide and seabed conditions were similar to those to be encountered in Normandy.
In addition, the remote location meant that the trials could be undertaken in secret.
