Description:
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. The chapel we see today is a rebuild dating to about 1300.
It was one of several stopping-places for the pilgrims. Today, pilgrims are invited to add stones to a modern Witness Cairn on the field.
