We’re delighted to be up and running with the Machars Waterborne project!
On Wednesday 25th November 2020 we launched the project with an introductory talk from Graeme Cavers of AOC Archaeology, who discussed the Machars’ maritime links through prehistory and history, and how we will be looking to use airborne laser scanning (or LiDAR) to record the area’s fascinating archaeology.
The talk will be posted here very soon. In the meantime, make sure you are signed up to the mailing list!
We open from March 29th to October 31st, Sunday to Friday, 11 am to 4pm. Summer hours may be extended.
Your visit includes our chronological story of the development of Whithorn, the upper Gallery “Whithorn Cold Case” exhibition and special exhibition “Face to Face with Whithorn’s Bishops”, now including facial reconstructions of Bishops Henry and Walter and the magnificent Whithorn Crozier; the ticket also includes access to the Iron Age roundhouse reconstruction via guided tour, and the Historic Environment Scotland Museum of early mediaeval carved stones. The crypts are currently closed to the public. All tickets are valid for one year.
