June 11 ~ How quickly holidays draw to a close and taking advantage of a very hot last full day, travelled the 100 miles from Moffat to Logan Gardens ~ they were spectacular. Leaving the gardens, detoured via the beach and little harbour at Port Logan, and went to the lighthouse at the extreme southern tip of the Mull of Galloway. This is the southern most part of Scotland , but the extreme heat haze over the sea obscured the Isle of Man which can normally be seen from this headland. On the way back to Moffat, called at the Galloway Smokehouse to get some smoked fish and meat. In the evening, made the final visit to Claudios for the dinner.
(The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh was established in 1670 and during the 20th century acquired three Regional Gardens - the mountainous Benmore in Argyll; Dawyck in the wooded hills of the Scottish Borders and Logan on the Gulf Stream-warmed southern peninsula of Dumfries & Galloway).
