About

This is where some of Scotland's earliest Christians worshipped about 1,500 years ago. According to legend, St Ninian founded the priory at Whithorn in the early 400s. The Latinus Stone, now displayed here, was raised soon after and remains Scotland's oldest Christian monument. Temporary restrictions are in place to the internal crypt and Lady Chapel areas. 1 Apr to 31 Oct: Sun to Fri, 10.30am to 4pm Closed for lunch 1.30pm to 2.15pm 1 Nov to 31 Mar: Closed
