Drummore – most southerly village

Drummore is Scotland’s most Southerly Village and makes an ideal base to explore the delights of the peninsula known as the South Rhins of Galloway. Surprisingly, Drummore is further south than Newcastle or Carlisle and as a result, Drummore probably has the mildest climate of any coastal village in Scotland. It also means that there are more daylight hours in early Spring and late Autumn than elsewhere in Scotland.

Nearby attractions include Logan Botanic Garden ” Scotland’s Most Exotic Garden”, Logan Fish Pond and The Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s Most Southerly Point where you can visit the RSPB Reserve, climb to the top of the lighthouse and visit the lighthouse exhibition. The fog horn at the lighthouse has recently been restored and is the only working foghorn on mainland Scotland. The Fog horn is only sounded for the benefit of visitors and not any more as a warning to shipping,There are also many opportunities for walking at the “Mull”. On the road to the Mull of Galloway, you will also find “The Mull of Gallery” Scotland’s most Southerly Gallery!

Drummore is on the Mull of Galloway Trail. a walking trail of 26 miles, most of which follows the spectacularly scenic coastline between Stranraer and The Mull of Galloway. Click for full details of the Mull of Galloway Trail. 

At the southern end of Drummore at Caliness, lies a delightful beach with a parking area where you can soak up the views of the distant Lake District Fells across Luce Bay.

Luce Bay is famed for sea fishing and there are opportunities for sea fishing trips from Drummore Harbour.
