Isle of Whithorn Lighthose and the village are one of the most southerly villages in Scotland, lying on the coast northeast of Burrow Head. The village has ruins of the 13th-century Saint Ninian's Chapel. It used to be a stopping point for pilgrims landing on the head. The way to get to the Lighthouse is a pretty easy walk. There's a free car park and a path to the chapel, to the lighthouse and along the coastal head. Get ready for the windy hill that will amaze you with the sea vawes crushing on the cliffs.
