The Mull of Galloway Trust was formed to benefit the community of Kirkmaiden. We were formed to allow the purcase of the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse Estate from the Northern Lighthouse Board. The property acquired on 4th July 2013 incuded 30 acre SSSI heathland, three cottages, Lighthouse Exhibition, RSPB building, fog horn and store in East Tarbert Bay. The Lighthouse Tower and quarterdecks were not incuded in the sale as the Lighthouse is still owed by the Northern Lighthouse Board.
