Single-track run down the Rhinns from Drummore toward Scotland’s most southerly point.

The B7041 drops south from Drummore down the narrowing tail of the Rhinns of Galloway toward the Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point, crowned by its Stevenson lighthouse and RSPB reserve. The road is a quiet single-track ribbon with passing places, sea on both sides as the peninsula pinches in, and big views to the Isle of Man, Ireland and the Lakeland fells on a clear day. It is gentle, scenic driving rather than a technical challenge, finishing where the B-road gives way to the lane out to the headland. Mind single-track passing-place etiquette, blind summits over the dunes, and strong crosswinds near the exposed tip.
