Season: autumn
Drummore is the most southerly town in Scotland, taking its name from the old Drummore Castle. The beach here faces north east, sitting in the lea of the prevailing wind on the Rhins of Galloway, just above the tip, or Mull. Its sheltered position makes this a popular sailing spot, with a slipway to help to launch dinghies and a small harbour with moorings. The origins of the harbour date back to a time in the early 1800’s when there was a lime making industry, which necessitated a safe way out for the lime and a safe way in for the coal used in its production. The beach is sandy and the adjacent town is friendly and welcoming, with plenty of cafes and restaurants. I recommend a visit to Galloway generally and to this town beach specifically.
