Ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland
Hello, I am planning a trip to Scotland and Northern Ireland and would like
to take a ferry from Troon to N. Ireland. Can anyone tell me the names of
any of the companies that operate Pedestrian ferries (all of the ones I have
found on the internet are for car/driver)?
Thank you!

AFAIK all the ferries will allow foot passengers, the rates might not be as
well publicised though.

http://www.ferrysavers.com/ has all the details - there's a ferry from
Stranraer to Belfast
A 5 day return for a foot passenger is from £24
You may find it is cheaper and more convenient to fly as Easyjet currently
has flights Glasgow to Belfast for the same sort of money
