  6. If there is one thing at which Galloway excels, it is ruined churches. Inch Old Kirk near Stranraer is among the best. Built c.1780 on a medieval church, it was abandoned in 1861 and has a distinct lost world feel.

  15. Some more from last week. The lighthouse at the Mull of Galloway - there is a colony of visiting gannets on the Scare Isles in Luce Bay.

The lighthouse at Corsewall with the Larne to Cairnryan ferry passing. And the village of Portpatrick #Dumfries #Galloway #Scotland
