The South Rhins Community Development Trust is a local enterprise hroup based in the South Rhins, and area within Wigtownshire. The group is based in the village hall of Stoneykirk [ [http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/dumgal/MiniWeb.aspx?id=31&menuid=1242&openid=129 Unspecified ] ] .

The aims of the Trust [ [http://www.firstport.org.uk/node/1433 South Rhins Community Development Trust | First Port ] ] are:
*To support agricultural development and diversification
*Development of tourism which builds on the environment, heritage, culture and location
*Increase opportunities for women and young people
*Improve access to social and community facilities
*To promote, establish and operate/support other schemes and projects of a charitable nature for the benefit of the South Rhins community.

The trust is composed of local people, business people, and politicians. The main focus of the group is the creation of the "Mull of Galloway experience" [ [http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/dumgal/MiniWeb.aspx?id=143&menuid=2129&openid=2129&pageid=2607 MiniWeb: Leader + - Projects - Mull of Galloway Experience ] ] , and the trust was instrumental in setting up the visitor centre in 2000 and reopening the lighthouse to visitors. Through this project they also set up a website to represent the South Rhins to tourists, under the banner of the Mull of Galloway (Scotland's Most Southerly Point).
