The Mull of Galloway is the most southerly point and the lighthouse is the most southerly structure in Scotland. If you climb the 115 steps of the country's southernmost lighthouse, you can enjoy one of the best views in the whole of south-west Scotland. (No, I'm not going up there, I'm afraid of heights.....) In good weather conditions, the view extends as far as Cumbria in England, the Isle of Man and Ireland.
The Mull of Galloway Lighthouse stands on a cliff almost 80 metres high and was built by Robert Stevenson. Construction work began in 1828 and lasted two years. The lamp, which is located 99 metres above sea level, was lit for the first time on 26 March 1830 and is still fully functional today. What an idyll there. Tip: arrive early. Then you can really enjoy the peace and quiet up here on your own! Kisses 😘
