Mull of Galloway

Scotland's most southerly point boasts some magnificent sea cliffs and a fine example of a Stevenson lighthouse.

The Mull of Galloway is Scotland's most southerly point and ends here in towering sea cliffs and an archetypal Stevenson lighthouse. These iconic structures are found all along the west coast from furthest south to furthest north and were built by the grandfather of Kidnapped and Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson. The Mull itself was a surprise to me on my first visit here and feels much more remote than I'd expected, with almost hebridean views over the sea to the Republic of Ireland and the north of England. This shot was taken early after first light and the muted overcast tone has helped to bring out the intense luminosity of the green sea. I also like the way the yellow lichens on the cliffs seem to glow in the half light.
