Place of historic interest. Celtic ruins with a hint of the past. Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims. St Ninian’s Chapel was first erected in the 1100s for the local worshippers and pilgrims to St Ninian’s Shrine at Whithorn. The chapel we see today dating to about 1300. There's a free car park and easy follow path to the chapel with tourist information.
