The Mulberry harbour remains at Garlieston is an ancient defensive structure located in Wigtownshire, Scotland. The Mulberry harbours were prefabricated portable harbours designed and constructed during the Second World War as part of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944. The remains at this location represent part of the broader infrastructure created to support amphibious operations, with components that would have been towed across the Channel to establish temporary harbour facilities for the landing forces. The site preserves evidence of this remarkable feat of wartime engineering and logistics, reflecting the technological innovation and industrial capacity mobilised by the Allied powers during the final years of the Second World War.
