Corsewall Point, or Corsill Point, is a headland at the northern end of the Rhins of Galloway in Scotland. A lighthouse, Corsewall Lighthouse, was placed here in 1816, for the directing of vessels from the Scottish side into the Irish Channel. [1] William Smith, a 19th-century British Classicist identifies the point with the Novantarum Promontorium ( Ancient Greek: Νοουαντῶν ἄκρον) mentioned by Ptolemy in his Geography [2] as the most northerly point of the peninsula of the Novantae in Britannia Barbara.
