The Mull of Galloway lighthouse exhibition is housed in the former fuel store, workshop and engine room to the right of the tower.

Perched high on top of the cliffs is the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse.

The lighthouse, known as a Stevenson Tower, was built by Robert Stevenson.  It took 2 years to build, work commencing in 1828 and was first lit in 1830.  The tower stands 26 metres high, and the actual light is 99 metres above sea level.   On a clear night the light can be seen for some 28 miles distance.

The area around the lighthouse is an RSPB reserve and is
designated as a site of special scientific interest.

The reserve at the Mull is one of the RSPB's smallest,
yet it contains an amazing variety of wildlife.

SPRING: Undoubtedly the Mull at its finest. the cliffs are a noisy scramble of Guillemot, Razorbill, Fulmar and Kittiwake. Overhead Raven tumble and black-backed Gulls soar while on the sea black Guillemot and Puffin bob on the tidal race. The birds of this colony build precarious 'nests' or lay directly on the cliff or on boulders, along with a small number of Puffins which, vulnerable to rats and foxes, avoid the burrows where they would ordinarily produce their eggs.
