The picturesque village of the Isle of Whithorn, nestles around its natural harbour on the Machars Peninsula, designated as an outstanding conservation area. The village has a long history of seafaring and trade, which dates back to the Vikings. The arrival of Ninian, Scotland's first missionary and saint, is thought to be the beginning of Scotland's Christian history The remains of the 13th century chapel can still be seen at the end of the harbour. Today the harbour is popular with visiting leisure sailors and with local boats fishing for crabs, lobsters and scallops.
