taken 3 years ago, near to Southerness, Dumfries And Galloway, Scotland

Lighthouse and sea defences
Lighthouse and sea defences
Southerness is suffering from erosion, and even the concrete at the base of the lighthouse is showing signs of undermining. Change here has been profound, and I remember a wide sandy beach here in the 1980s, where it was customary to drive straight onto the sand to park.
