==Geography== Whithorn's link to the sea was the port known as the [[Isle of Whithorn]] (a separate community from Whithorn itself and actually a peninsula). It was much used in the Middle Ages by pilgrims arriving by boat. The thirteenth-century [[Saint Ninian's Chapel]] marked the point where pilgrims came ashore (the roofless remains are looked after by [[Historic Scotland|Historic Environment Scotland]]). The 1st-century settlement of [[Rispain Camp]], about {{convert|1|mi|km}} west of Whithorn, is also in the care of [[Historic Scotland]].
