Overview

In an accessible lighthouse museum while your able bodied friends can also climb the 115 steps up to the top or go down to the fog horn. There is much to see from nesting birds in the grounds around, good interpretive boards, views of mainland Scotland, the Isle of Man and England from this most southerly tip of Scotland. The museum told the history of those who worked in the lighthouse but also had items for children to spell their name in semaphore or morse and pictures to search for. There was a nearby RSPB information point and a cafe a short walk from the carpark, which had disabled parking spaces.

Transport & Parking

Parking was good but a fair walk to the lighthouse. Worth taking wheels. No public transport noticed.

Access

There is a step to get in but they have a portable ramp they are happy to t down for you. You do have to start on gravel but this wasn't a problem for me. Information boards and displays were clear to read, watch or listen to. As expected no access to the top unless you could climb the 115 steps to the top of this historic building.

Toilets

No toilets at lighthouse by cafe looked modern and had disabled parking so may have disabled toilet facilities.

Staff

Very helpful with offering to put ramp out and checking I could get around ok.
