Whithorn Town & Priory

The very quiet main street in the Dumfries and Galloway town of Whithorn. All photo's in this series were taken by Lynda Braithwaite. 
Looking in the other direction. 
Whithorn is 10 miles south of Wigtown. 
Whithorn has a population of around 1,000


Colourful, almost Irish -like. 
The ruins of Whithorn Priory. 
Whithorn Priory was a medieval Abbey, that also served a a Cathedral. 
The Priory was built in the middle of the 12th century.
