Whithorn is reputed to be the cradle of Christianity in Scotland, with St Ninian founding a church there around 397AD. The cult flourished bringing travellers, traders, pilgrims and royalty to the site for over 1,000 years until it was suppressed during the Protestant Reformation of 1560.
The priory ruins are managed by Historic Environment Scotland and include a museum displaying a host of ancient carved standing stones and crosses.
