Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of Saint Ninian's Chapel on history visit to Isle of Whithorn. Isle of Whithorn, Port Rosnait in Gaelic, is one of the most southerly villages and seaports in Scotland, lying on the coast north east of Burrow Head, about three miles from Whithorn and about thirteen miles south of Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway. St Ninian’s Chapel was first erected in the 1100s for the benefit of both local worshippers and pilgrims to St Ninian’s Shrine at Whithorn. It was one of several stopping-places for the pilgrims, including Chapel Finian and the Laggangarn Standing Stones. St Ninian's Chapel was repaired and partly rebuilt in 1898 by the Marquess of Bute. Ninian is a Christian saint first mentioned in the 8th century as being an early missionary among the Pictish peoples of what is now Scotland. For this reason he is known as the Apostle to the Southern Picts, and there are numerous dedications to him in those parts of Scotland with a Pictish heritage, throughout the Scottish Lowlands, and in parts of Northern England with a Northumbrian heritage. In Scotland, Ninian is also known as Ringan, and as Trynnian in Northern England. Various scenes from the 1973 film The Wicker Man were filmed in and around the Isle of Whithorn. The climax of the film was filmed at St Ninian's Cave and on the clifftops at Burrow Head. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
