    Tips

    March 8, 2023

    This charming 19th-century tower is perched on the edge of the beautiful Scottish shoreline overlooking Solway Firth and Hestan Island. You can see the top of the tower from the headland pathway, or if you would prefer to have a look up close, you can drop down onto the beach from the car park and follow the shoreline around.
