Southerness
Niamh takes time out to explore the beach at Southerness on our recent Scottish trip.
Southerness Point lies on the Solway Firth to the south of Dumfries. The lighthouse was originally erected in 1749 as a marker to aid ships entering the Nith Estuary and was raised in 1795. A light was added in about 1800 and the tower was raised again in 1843-44. It is now disused, the light having been taken out of use in the mid-1930s.
