The views at the weekend were great - looked over to the Lake District, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland from the Mountains of Mourne to north of Belfast Loch. It was so clear that with the naked eye you could see Irish houses and the reflection of cars moving on the Isle of Man. The Lighthouse is very interesting... More

one of the highlights of my trip to the Rhins. Well worth taking time to get down to the tip of the peninsula. Make sure to allow yourself plenty of time. For the small entrance free you can access a really interesting but manageable museum and then climb to the top of the lighthouse. The guide will explain all about... More

Well worth the drive to Scotland's most southerly point, informative exhibition and friendly staff at lighthouse, unfortunately we missed the opportunity to climb the tower as we went on a week-day, but will plan better next time! You can explore the headland itself and a trip to the fog horn platform is a must, especially on windy days when the... More

We stayed in one of the old lighthouse cottages & it was a brilliant holiday. Our son went up the lighthouse twice (it's only open Sat, Sun & Mon). Being allowed to press the foghorn in the exhibition was deemed hilarious. The exhibition staff were so friendly & informative. There is also an RSPB centre & again the staff were... More

They say islands are special. Does that apply to isthmuses too? They also say that from the Mull of Galloway you can see five kingdoms - Scotland, Ireland, England, the Isle of Man - and Heaven. If you want bright lights and disco, don't go there. If you want an old fashioned peace, crime-free peace of mind and fantastic scenery,... More

A visit to the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse and Exhibition is definitely worth while. The exhibition only opened last year and includes videos on how the light used to be lit with paraffin; DVD on running lighthouses; a former lighthouse keeper's memories (Bill Fraser); lots of display items including a fresnel lens from McArthurs Head on Islay. You can also... More
