Southerness is a small village located on the Solway Firth, Dumfries and Galloway.

The lighthouse is approximately 56 feet (17 m) tall and was decommissioned in the 1930s. It is no longer in use but it remains an imposing landmark and adds a great deal of character to the village.

The award-winning golf course was the first of a series of leisure developments in Southerness. The 19th Hole Pub and the Paul Jones Bar & Grill are popular with golfers, visitors and locals.

The bar & grill was named after John Paul Jones, the local man credited with founding the us Navy and continues to provide the village with a focal point.
