This article appears in Volume V22, Page 131 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PORTRUSH , a seaport and the most popular seaside resort
of Co. Antrim, Ireland; the terminus of a branch of the
Northern Counties (Midland) railway. Pop. (1901), 1941. It
is very picturesquely situated on the basaltic peninsula of
Ramore Head, with a deep bay on either side, and a harbour protected by the natural breakwater known as the Skerries. A fine hotel, owned by the railway company, and an excellent golf course are the
chief
  features, together with a town-
hall
  with public
reading
  room, and the place is much frequented for golf and sea-bathing. It is also the centre for visitors to the Giants' Causeway, with which it is connected by an electric railway. Dunluce Castle, between Portfush and Bushmills, stands on a
rock
  separated from the mainland by a chasm which is spanned by a
bridge
 . The ruins, which are extensive, are of unknown date. Portrush has a thriving
trade
  in salmon. It is governed by an urban
district
  council.
