Saint Ninian is a Christian saint of the 8th century and known as an early missionary among the Pictish peoples of what is now south west Scotland. He is reputed to have been buried in Whithorn. The chapel, which probably dates from the 12th Century, is dedicated to his name. Still called the Isle of Whithorn, the gap between island and the mainland was filled in during the development of the village and harbour.

WHITHORN PRIORY. om the South West The first church in Whithorn was established by St Ninian in the 8th Century, and developed into a cathedral church accompanied by a monastery. On his death, St Ninian was buried here and Whithorn became the place for pilgrimage. The much larger ruins of the buildings you see today date from the 13th Century onwards. After the Reformation in 1560 cathedral fell into disrepair.
