Beautiful architecture, worth a close look... Closed for redevelopment.

Views of outsdanding natural beauty, Educational and historical, Fun for all the family Not all of Souter Lighthouse is accessible for wheelchair uses

Wonderful scenery, a piece of living history, no need to put in the legwork Not the most comfortable experience in poor weather conditions

A cheap day out, having a good long walk around has gotta be doing the lungs some good! The visitors centre could be made a bit more interesting
