About

Little Ross is a 29-acre (12-hectare) island with a lighthouse on the Solway Coast south of the town of Kirkcudbright in Galloway, Scotland. It is next to Meikle Ross on the mainland, which is a headland, and there are two small rocks off it, Sugarloaf and Fox Craig. The island can only be accessed by private boat or helicopter. Its sole electricity is supplied by solar panels and a small wind turbine. The island is well known for the murder of one of its lighthouse keepers, Hugh Clark.
