Whithorn Priory and Museum
Location: Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire DG8 8PY
Telephone: 01988 500700
One of the earliest Christian sites in Scotland, Whithorn was traditionally held to be founded by St Ninian in the 5th or 6th century. In the 12th century a priory for Premonstratensians was built here and became the cathedral church of Galloway. Whilst little of the Priory survives today, visitors may still follow the pilgrimage route taken by medieval pilgrims to visit the shrine of St Ninian located in the vault of the Priory.
