At the Whithorn Trust Visitor Centre, you’ll find a warm welcome from our friendly staff, who are happy to answer questions about local tourism attractions and guide you through your visit to our Museum and exhibition. The visit begins with an audio visual presentation, lasting approximately ten minutes, and you can then guide yourselve through the chronological display, which contains both original artefacts which were uncovered in the 1980’s and complete replicas, models and human figures. The site extends outdoors, where the former excavation field is grassed in, but you can visit the ruins of the Priory, enter the crypts where the tomb of St Ninian was visited by thousands of pilgrims before you, seeking cures and forgiveness, and then visit the Museum of inscribed Christian stones. Most importantly, you will see the earliest Christian monument in Scotland, dating from about 450AD
We open from April to October 31st, Sunday to Friday, 10.30 am to 4pm; we close slightly earlier in April at 3.30pm. Summer hours may be extended.
