Mull of Galloway

Our next stop was the Mull of Galloway, which is the most southerly point one can get to in Scotland.
Our route there took us through the Rhins of Galloway. We arrived in time for our lunch, which we had early as we had seen a good 6 mile walk to do around the mull and the adjoing peninsular.
The mull is home to an old lighthouse with support buildings and an RSPB centre, also apparently home to gannets, kittiwakes, razorbills, terns, gulls etc and even some puffin. The scenery on our walk was pretty spectacular. We walked along the cliff tops, looking down on clear waters, and passed through lush green fields. The walk proved to be quite difficult, not because of its difficulty, but due to the very long grass and vegetation along the way which made each step quite difficult at times and our feet very wet.
We free-camped at the lighthouse overnight, and were joined by travellers from Belgium, Germany, France and the UK in their motorhomes. It was very peaceful.Read more
