Mull Of Galloway Scotland



Mull Of Galloway Lighthouse

Recently Evlar and I needed to escape and we drove down to the peninsula known as the Mull Of Galloway the most southerly tip of Scotland...

Across the Solway Firth To England

This peninsula is so beautiful and reminds me of my home county of East Sussex with rolling hills,grazing sheep and sheer sea cliffs albeit solid rock and not chalk...
