The trust was composed of local people, business people, and politicians. The main focus of the group was the creation of the Mull of Galloway experience,[3] and the trust was instrumental in setting up the visitor centre in 2000 and reopening the lighthouse to visitors. Through this project they also set up a website to represent the South Rhins to tourists, under the banner of the Mull of Galloway (Scotland's Most Southerly Point).
In 2018, the decision was taken to close the community trust, as a separate body (Mull of Galloway Trust) had taken responsibility for most activities.[4] It was formally dissolved in 2021.[5]
