About Whithorn Priory and Museum

Whithorn Priory and Museum is set on 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 Whithorn 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.
