Mull
of Galloway Experience
Welcome
to the Mull of Galloway. Despite its remoteness it attracts
in excess of 40,000 visitors per year.
As the
southernmost tip of Scotland it is an evocative place. It
has excellent views out to sea, across to Ireland's Antrim
Hills and the Mountains of Mourne, the Cumbrian coast of north-west
England, along the ridge of Mona's Isle on the Isle of Man,
and across Luce Bay to the closer Machars of Galloway, behind
which can be seen the Galloway Hills.
The landscape
here is wild and spectacular, beautiful and awesome and no
two days are ever alike. Artists and photographers try to
capture its ever-changing appeal through the seasons and the
years. Visitors return many times to enjoy the surroundings,
peaceful on occasion, and windswept on others. The warmth
of the Gulf Stream ensures a warm climate and the rainfall
is lower here than in most of western Scotland. An almost
constant breeze means there is never a stiflingly hot day
at the Mull of Galloway. Snow and frost in the winter is rare,
but the wind is usually bracing!
While
you are here enjoy a walk around the RSPB Nature Reserve,
a climb up the steps of the Lighthouse, a visit to the Visitor
Centre and to the recently opened Gallie Craig Coffee House.
