The Mull of Galloway is the most southern part of Scotland and is about 25 miles from both the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. It has relatively small but impressive sea bird colonies, including guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, fulmar, shag and a few puffins and black guillemots. About 5 miles offshore lies Scar rocks with a gannet colony comprising about 2500 pairs.
