The coastline stretches from the tidal flats of the Solway Firth in the east, flats on a scale not found elsewhere in Scotland, to the sea cliffs of the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point, from where you can look across to Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Southerness Point - Galloway
Scotland's second oldest lighthouse is located on the Southerness headland, known as Southerness Point, at the north side of the entrance to Solway Firth.

The light was switched off in the mid-1930s and the lighthouse is now disused
