From Lighthouse car park. Cloud had risen above all summits in view and a toposcope below revealed that The Merrick was further away than Strangford Lough; Slieve Donard clearly visible and IOM impressive. I walked back via Lagvag, Scotlands 'Lands End' which I had to myself and left reluctantly- a marvellous place and a must visit. | pwheeler | 19/03/2024 |
Visited on a circular coastal walk which included the Mull of Galloway. With Alma Aurea and Hitman9956. /D | meltdiceburg | 24/06/2023 |

A rather windy day. The Mull visited between periods of heavy rain. Mound by lighthouse. Caff good. | fasgadh | 27/04/2019 |
High point near the lighthouse. Also went up the lighthouse and visited the most southerly point. With Mrs Anchovy, M & X. | Herbert Anchovy | 20/08/2018 |
Last of the four cardinal points of mainland Scotland. Great ice cream in the tea room. Dozens of tourists around didn't realise collecting TUMPS was so popular. | Play2End | 22/07/2018 |
Unnatural looking grassy mound outside of Lighthouse perimeter wall with concrete circle, possible aerial base. Topograph nearby. Large car park with cafe. Lovely sunny day to stand on the most southerly point in Scotland at Gallie Crag. | Denise | 25/03/2018 |
First hill of the day on a tour of The Rhins. Small mound to N of the Lighthouse. Had a prod and dig for the trig surface block, but nothing found. With TJ and AC. | jonglew | 25/03/2018 |
Short walk from car park. Great views, blue skies and sunshine. I lift a recently cut square of turf only to find a concrete stay point as those before had and not the coveted burried block. | RichardM | 25/03/2018 |
Beautiful! | thekirkie pirate | 20/02/2018 |
A long loop from East Muntloch Croft B&B climbing High Slock Fell then following Southern coastline till reaching the cafe at Gallie Craig where I had lunch before climbing up to the knoll as stated. Highlights en-route were the Standing stone at NX13390 31267, the scrambling at West Tarbert Bay and the peaceful nature of the trail from Portavadie to Maryport Bay. My gps recorded the summit as 88m @ NX15688 30439. I continued on to Lagvag thenthe Mull of Galloway trail into Drummore (for Soup and coffee at the Ship Inn) then via Kildonan and Glen Lee before using minor road to arrive back at the B&B. Completed topo section: Rhinns to the River Cree. | Dazingdale | 07/10/2017 |
very wild and windy, high point just north of the lighthouse, having arrived in the dark to sleep the night there. Starry night given way to very hazy dawn and pretty choppy seas | vegibagger | 27/09/2017 |
Walked up with Mart. Fantastic spot and great coastal walks. Saw seals, roe deer and gannets. Amazing part of the world which is well worth a visit. Cheap camping (no toilets) at East and West Tarbet. | John Eley | 28/08/2017 |
From CP. The HP is probably the least interesting bit of this fascinating Mull. | summitsup | 04/07/2017 |
Mull of Galloway loop | callumorr | 17/06/2017 |
Came for view after excellent forecast - it rained all day on Cairn Fell, Mull of G & Mochrum Fell - no views. | jimbloomer | 07/02/2017 |
Climbed up the lighthouse to inspect the light and have a walk outside around top of lighthouse. Then had a walk down to the foghorn, RSPB building and then the knoll. | Dugswell2 | 08/10/2016 |
Nearly blown off the summit on an otherwise fine day. The lighthouse exhibition gives a really interesting sense of what a lighthouse keeper's life was like. | Nick Down1 | 29/07/2016 |
Obvious top, whether manmade or not. Pleasant couple of hours, visiting lighthouse tower and exhibition, RSPB visitor centre etc. Car park busy, but still a peaceful place. | Crib Goch | 26/07/2016 |
Post YABAF in Portpatrick. | andy | 20/02/2016 |
Pleasant place for a stroll on a cold but sunny morning. | agentmancuso | 15/02/2016 |
From CP - saw nothing due to haar. High point may be artificial. | chrisbien | 22/07/2014 |
Highpoint is between the lighthouse and the RSPB visitor hut. Great views of Isle of . | citygent | 09/09/2013 |
Visited a few times on holiday. Highest point seems to be a grassy rise above the main path behind the lighthouse. A brilliant place. | Jake994 | 12/08/2013 |
With Mag and Glen on way to Flat Rock. | iredale | 01/08/2013 |
Explored around the lighthouse and RSPB hut and then did a 10km clockwise walk around the peninsula. | milimana | 09/04/2013 |
Mull lighthouse and top. Lucky to find the lighthouse 'keeper' there who let us into buildings for a look. Agree highpoint between it and RSPB building. | nordicstar | 16/03/2013 |
Start of a cycle challenge from Mull of Galloway to Dunnet Head. | chalky1953 | 02/08/2012 |

Been before but no dates. | ARM | 27/06/2010 |
Cycled down here from New England Bay. Fine when we set off but got a good soaking on the way back. | Walker Dan | 03/07/2007 |
Had to be done - the most Southerly point of Scotland | ChinnockC | 26/05/2003 |
Unsure of date. Unusual approach, from sealevel to the south to finish a sealevel traverse of the Mull coast, split over three days. | Dave McG | 01/06/1995 |
Many visits | Longwojo | blank |
