Parish of Glasserton and Isle of Whithorn Church, Main Street, Isle of Whithorn. Newton Stewart,
Associated with St. Ninian (one of the earliest Christian missionaries in Scotland), who is traditionally said to have landed nearby around 380–431 AD.
Home to the ruined 13th-century St. Ninian's Chapel (linked to Whithorn Priory), which served as a key stopping point for medieval pilgrims arriving by sea and heading to Whithorn.

Evidence of earlier habitation includes ancient clearance cairns, cultivation furrows, and building remains near the chapel.
For much of its history, it acted as the port for the inland town of Whithorn, supporting trade and pilgrimage. Today, it is a quiet, scenic village with a strong sense of history, popular for walking, coastal views, and as a base for exploring the Machars.,,,,,,,,,,,,,, HBM!
