The boys of Leswalt Primary had a thoroughly enjoyable, and blustery day at The Mull of Galloway lighthouse. Catching the tail end of Hurricane Katia, the pupils and staff experienced a visit to the most Southerly lighthouse in Scotland on an extremely windy day!
This trip was part of the whole school development of the topic on “Lighthouses”. Guided by Mr Steve Hardy all of p1-7 learned from the interactive displays in the exhibition and the engine room. The highlight for all was climbing the 115 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Despite the wind the pupils could see for miles. Throughout the visit everyone learned about the development of lighthouses in Scotland as well as some facts about the lighthouse at The Mull of Galloway. The windswept pupils, staff and parents concluded their trip by popping into the Gallie Craig to enjoy some delicious home baking. Muching on their chocolate cake, pupils reflected on what a real experience it had been to visit the Mull!
