Port Kale and Port Mora on the Rhinns of Gallway, Wigtownshire

Rhinns of Galloway

The Rhinns of Galloway are a hammer-head peninsula in the very west of Wigtownshire. Stretching more than 25 miles from north to south, its southern tip is the Mull of Galloway, the southernmost point of the county and of Scotland and its west shore is washed by the North Channel, across which lies Ulster.
