  • St Ninian’s Chapel was first erected in the 1100s for the benefit of both local worshippers and pilgrims to St Ninian’s Shrine at Whithorn. The chapel we see today is a rebuild dating to about 1300.
    It was one of several stopping-places for the pilgrims, including Chapel Finian and the Laggangarn Standing Stones. Today, pilgrims are invited to add stones to a modern Witness Cairn on the field.
    The Isle of Whithorn Tower is located on the most southerly point of the headland at Whithorn. From the headland, the mountains of the Lake District and the Isle of Man can be seen.
    The square white tower is the most prominent landmark in the area and has been used as a navigation aid for hundreds of years. There do not appear to be any records indicating when it was built. Navigation into the harbour can be tricky. A rock reef runs out from the western side of the mouth and was marked with an iron pole for many years.
    The Isle of Whithorn is one of the most southerly villages in Scotland, around 13 miles from Wigtown, Scotland’s Book Town.
