Times are the middle of each turn. The small times underneath are slack water, when the level stays close to high or low.

Our predictions for this spot, blended from the Portpatrick and Workington tide gauges either side. Heights are above the year's lowest tide. This uses Environment Agency tide gauge data from the real-time data API (Beta). Not for navigation.
