Thursday 25 April 2024 - The Mull of Galloway

Eight of us enjoyed a 10km stroll around the Mull of Galloway, which claims to be the southernmost tip of Scotland, with views towards the Lake District as well as the Galloway hills with which we are becoming familiar. 

Pictured above are Jenny and David, near the start, on their way to a lovely section of coast. 

Elevenses were soon taken, then Sue, Tom and I went ahead.

Spring squill is abundant on this section of coast.

The lighthouse at the tip of the peninsular was quiet today, with the nearby café closed, as a cattle grid on the road was being replaced, thus closing the road at Mull of Galloway Farm, where we had parked.

The western side of the peninsular had dramatic cliffs, infested with a selection of seabirds.

We finished our walk just as some familiar looking cyclists flew past.

Sue and I then had time to visit Logan Botanic Garden. A lovely place. More pictures may follow.

Then it was back to base for birthday celebrations for Robin.

Before heading off to Cree Bridge Hotel for more birthday celebrations and a nice meal.
