2 nights at Pirnie Lodge Farm

From the minute we arrived Anne was welcoming and gave us all the information to do with the lodge, the lodge itself was spotless and felt homely from the minute we walked in. Anne also left a welcome pack which was an added bonus, the hot tub was ready on arrival and Anne also shown us how to use this before leaving Anne gave us recommendations on places to visit and where we could go for days out, we were recommended the milk barn which was delicious, the ice cream and milkshakes were perfect! We would also recommend going there! Thank you Anne, we love our stays

3 nights at Otter Moss Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the log cabin, from the great atmosphere to the welcoming and helpful people close by, it was one of nicest glamping experiences. The cabin was such a cozy experience along with the beautiful view right outside of your cabin. If you are looking for some time away to relax or for long walks or even a little boat around the stream Ottermoss is the place to go.

Glamping near Whithorn with wifi provided guide

Overview

Though small in size, Whithorn has an outsize place in Scottish history. It was here, in Dumfries and Galloway’s Machars Peninsula, that St. Ninian (Scotland’s first saint) built the first recorded Christian church in Scotland in around 397. Though still best-known as Scotland`s Cradle of Chrisitanity, Whithorn offers cycling trails through the Machars area, as well as opportunities for walking, fishing, golf and bird watching. Nearby, the small sea cave known as St. Ninian’s Cave is reached by a pretty walk through a wooded glen. Also nearby, the Isle of Whithorn (which is no longer an island) has a picturesque seaside setting and is home to St Ninian's chapel.

Around Town

Arts and crafts is another draw in Whithorn and the village has its own arts and crafts trail that you can follow. You can also learn about the history of Whithorn at the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre. Just minutes from Whithorn, Castelwigg Caravan Park is a quiet spot with camping and touring pitches.

Garlieston

Lying on the Solway Coast, the village of Garlieston is an excellent starting point for coastal walks north to Innerwell Point and Eggerness Point or south to the remains of Cruggleton Castle. By the coastline, the adults-only Garlieston Lodge Campsite has fishing on site as well as tent and touring pitches.

Wigtown

A 20-minute drive north of Whithorn, the small town of Wigtown is famed as Scotland’s National Book Town. Just south of town, Drumroamin Farm Caravan and Camping Site is a tranquil site, with views of Wigtown Bay, pitches for tents and tourers, as well as static caravans for hire.

Where to go

When to go

May through August is the best time to visit for making the most of Scotland’s extended summer daylight hours and relatively good weather. However the season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer, try to avoid travelling during the Scottish school holidays in July and early August. The Wigtown Book Festival is always a popular event in the area and typically takes place in late September/early October.
