Description
English: About 3 km from Cairngaan, Dumfries And Galloway, Great Britain – Snail sanctuary? This is the northern wall of the Mull of Galloway lighthouse compound, and it's covered with snails, as was the eastern wall. Clearly they like the shade, but what else attracts them? The colour? The taste? The sense of history? Actually it's probably the quicklime used for their shells – or perhaps just being in a Nature Reserve?
