Rumblekirn is a prominent headland located in the historic county of Kirkcudbrightshire in southwestern Scotland. Situated along the picturesque coastline, it is a natural coastal feature that stands out due to its rugged beauty and unique geological formations.

This headland is characterized by its dramatic cliffs, which rise steeply from the sea, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The cliffs are formed from layers of sedimentary rocks, displaying fascinating patterns and colors that have been shaped by millions of years of erosion.

At the top of Rumblekirn, visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas of the Irish Sea and the nearby coastline. On clear days, it is possible to spot various seabirds, such as gannets and puffins, soaring above the crashing waves.

Access to Rumblekirn is relatively easy, with a well-maintained footpath leading to the headland from the nearest village. Along the path, walkers can enjoy the diverse flora and fauna, including wildflowers and small mammals that call this area their home.

Due to its natural beauty and importance for wildlife, Rumblekirn has been designated as a protected site. Conservation efforts have been implemented to safeguard the delicate ecosystem and preserve the headland's unique geological features for future generations to enjoy.

Overall, Rumblekirn is a captivating coastal feature that offers a remarkable blend of stunning landscapes, geological wonders, and a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Whether exploring its trails or simply admiring its beauty from afar, this headland is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility along Scotland's rugged shoreline.

Corseyard Dairy I understand this to have been a model dairy built by a Manchester Industrialist circa 1910. The byre (cattleshed) is in the style of an Italian church, and the castellated tower was actually a watertower, which didn't work!
