Beschrijving
Nestled at the southernmost tip of Scotland, the Mull of Galloway feels like an island with spectacular panoramic views wherever you turn. Ireland, the Isle of Man, Cumbria and Galloway can all be seen, as can the Scar Rocks, an outlying part of the reserve with a small Jan-van-gent colony. The reserve consists of clifftop grassland and heath, surrounded by steep cliffs where seabirds make their homes. The clifftop habitats are important for a number of plant species, including sping squill, thrift, purple milk vetch and sea spleenwort. Frater sometimes breed in the heathland, as do Tapuit, Kneu and Roodborsttapuit . The seabird cliffs are home to locally important colonies of Zeekoet, Alk, Drieteenmeeuw, Kuifaalscholver and Zwarte Zeekoet. Raaf and Slechtvalk are also regularly seen around the cliffs. The Scar Rocks are mostly inhabited by around 4,000 Jan-van-gent.
