Day 64, Portpatrick to Garlieston, 90 mls

Mull Of Galloway

Isle of Whithorn

Sunny morning and no wind. Drove to the Mull of Galloway which is the most southerly point of Scotland. Further south than Newcastle. Enjoyed a walk round the headland and a crab sandwich in the cafe. This is a really nice part of Scotland, not as wild as the north, and loads of footpaths and rolling hills.

I was in the Isle of Whithorn when they were filming "The Wicker Man", a cult film from 1974, with my old friend Rena McKie, who lived here. Everything looks a little different now, but the old lady at the fish shop, where we bought some haddock, said there was a Wicker man festival every year so might have to come to that!

Visited Berrow head where the wicker man was actually burned. There is a campsite there - but not one we would want to stop at, so continued on the Garlieston. Biked to Rigg Bay then back to our site, next to some free range pigs, for our Whithorn haddock.
