On the southernmost tip of Scotland, it's a great place to visit to find out more information about the lighthouse and surrounds. We found it a real refuge after being nearly blown off the cliffs by fierce winds and we were able to get some tea there as well! We were particularly impressed by the excellent relief map which is ideal for visually impaired people to feel and get a clear impression of the geography of the area. Outside there are marvellous views of the lighthouse and out to sea, across to Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Cumbria in England. There's a RSPB Nature Reserve to see too. read more
