High and dry at the Isle of Whithorn

High and dry at the Isle of Whithorn
Isle of Whithorn is one of the most southerly villages and seaports in Scotland, lying on the coast north east of Burrow Head, about three miles from Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway.
The village is the location of the long ruined 13th century Saint Ninian's Chapel, previously a chapel linked to Whithorn Priory and a stopping off point for pilgrims landing on Isle Head and making their way to Whithorn. No longer a true island, John Ainslie's maps as late as 1782 and 1821 show the Isle as an island. The main street was originally a causeway, with the harbour located on what was then the true Isle.

This is a part of Scotland I've never been to, it looks worth a visit! Boats at low tide are a fascinating sight:-)

As it's the southernmost part of Scotland, it's well worth a visit, Gudrun. Wigtownshire was once described to me by one of my old teachers as the 'door handle of Scotland'. If you look at the map you may see why.
