With The October Holidays running until the end of the month, there is still lots to see and do at Scotland’s most southerly point, the stunning Mull of Galloway.

The Lighthouse will then be open every weekend until the 25th October. The Exhibition will be open daily until the 11th October then weekends only until 25th October. The 2015 season ends on 25th October 2015 and we look forward to the 2016 season beginning on Friday 25th March 2016.
Logan Botanic Garden
Visit the Mull of Galloway Experience Exhibition at Logan Botanic Garden, open daily from 10am until 5pm until 31st October. The exhibition highlights the history and recent developments at the Mull of Galloway together with information about the wildlife that resides at the Mull, RSPB and history of the planning and construction of Gallie Craig Coffee House.
There is also an impressive display of photography by Alexander Fraser Photography with landscape, wildlife, fine art and still life images on display taken during his visit to the Mull of Galloway in June 2014.
RSPB Guided walks
October is a fantastic time to visit the Mull of Galloway as migrating birds stop on the reserve to re-fuel before continuing South towards their wintering grounds. Join RSPB staff at 1pm each Tuesday and Thursday for a guided walk to see these magnificent birds and discuss their migration. Meet at the RSPB visitor centre. Please bring stout footwear, warm clothing and binoculars if you have some.
The Mull of Galloway is the most southerly point in Scotland, and from here, it’s possible to see thousands of birds flying by, hugging the coast as they follow good feeding grounds on their way south. To celebrate the great migration, this year the RSPB is holding a festival on October 3rd, offering lots of events and activities and encouraging everyone to come along to witness one of the wonders of nature.
