- Cairngaan
Cairngaan,
Dumfries and Galloway , is the southmost settlement inScotland . The hamlet of Cairngaan lies just north of theMull of Galloway (which contains Scotland's most southerly point, and alighthouse , but no villages) on the B7041, after a turn-off from the B7065 road. The village is at the extreme end of the B7401; as the road comes from an area that is already remote and goes only to this village, it can be said that the only reason to travel it is to experience what it is like to be at Scotland's most southerly settlement. As a result of Cairngaan's southernly location, the town lies south of the English settlements of Newcastle,Sunderland andCarlisle Nearby settlements of marginally more consequence include
Drummore andKirkmaiden to the near north. Around 18 miles (30km) away isStranraer and the ferry to Northern Ireland.See also
