WELCOMING SPACE

St Ninian’s Priory Church, Whithorn has created a new welcoming space for pilgrims to Scotland’s ‘Cradle of Christianity’.

The church has created a new picnic area in part of the Glebe ield, allowing visitors the opportunity to spend some time in peaceful countryside surroundings.

With the support of the Guild Initiative Fund and funding from the local church itself, much hard work saw the ield being cleared of ivy and weeds, a new gate put in place and a ‘secret garden’ type door renewed.

Picnic thePriory was launched on Pentecost Sunday with the whole congregation processing out to it before a blessing took place.
