15 Here you can see the fog
horn half way up the cliff. You might think that this is the southernmost
point on the Mull and therefore in Scotland but Callie Craig just west along
the coast holds that honour. If you follow a line of latitude east from
the Mull of Galloway you'll find that it comes out on the east coast of
England just north of Middlesbrough. That might seem amazingly far south
but you can check it out on a map for yourself - In the first picture below we have a picture that Sandy took of the Mull of Galloway lighthouse. The folk posing for a picture have nothing to do with us but they do give you some idea of the scale of the thing. On a few days of the week it is possible to get up to the light room and balcony that you see near the top of the lighthouse - from where the third and fourth pictures were taken on quite a different day from the the day we did this walk. The third picture shows the view from there looking west-north-west over the whole area of our walking route and the fourth picture shows the view looking east over the RSPB centre to Luce Bay and the Wigton Peninsula beyond. |
