*************

Whithorn (/ˈwɪthɔːn/ 'WIT-horn'; (Taigh Mhàrtainn in Gaelic), royal burgh in the historical county of Wigtownshire in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, about ten miles south of Wigtown.^[1] The town was the location of the first recorded Christian church in Scotland, Candida Casa : the 'White [or 'Shining'] House', built by Saint Ninian about 397.

Whithorn's link to the sea was the port known as the Isle of Whithorn (a separate community from Whithorn itself and actually a peninsula). It was much used in the Middle Ages by pilgrims arriving by boat. The thirteenth-century Saint Ninian's Chapel marked the point where pilgrims came ashore (the roofless remains are looked after by Historic Environment Scotland).

The 1st-century settlement of Rispain Camp, about 1 mile west of Whithorn, is also in the care of Historic Scotland.
