St Ninian's Chapel. 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.

St Ninian’s Cave. By tradition St Ninian stayed in this cave for solitary prayer and reflection. From the early Middle Ages onwards, the cave became a place of pilgrimage and, today, school parties from all over Scotland arrive and sometimes build an altar from the local stone for the celebration of mass.
