Southerness is a small, compact coastal village in Dumfries and Galloway. Southerness is located approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) south of the A710 between Caulkerbush and Kirkbean. The town today is mainly a tourist village and has for many years had a large number of static caravans, some private and many rented to holiday makers. The local bus services to and from Dalbeattie and Dumfries are more frequent during the summer season.
The only landmark is its Southerness lighthouse which was built in 1749 and is one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland. The lighthouse stands approximately 56 feet (17 m) tall and was decommissioned in the 1930s.
One of the two golf courses was redesigned in 1947 by course manager Mackenzie Ross.
The village has to the north a magnificent backdrop of the "marilyn" Criffel, and to the south the sandy (please note the quick sand) bay of Gillfoot. On clear days the views stretch across the Solway Firth to the Lakeland fells.

I was sitting on that beach not far from the lighthouse when I heard live on the radio the 9/11 tragedy in 2001. And I was just arriving at Dumfries railway station on 21st December 1988 when the Lockerbie plane crashed and my brother in law had just left Lockerbie ice rink and was on his way home at same time.
