Isle of Whithorn Festivals
The Isle has recently begun hosting a series of festivals and exhibitions: some have had a food and maritime theme, others have concentrated on local heritage. |
Annual Pilgrimages
The Catholic Diocese of Galloway annually holds a pilgrimage to St. Ninian's Cave on the last Sunday in August. There are also youth pilgrimages, and a Christian Aid walk. |
Cruises to the Isle Of Man
Once a year, the motor cruiser leaves from Garlieston for the Isle of Man, allowing a stay ashore, or a trip round the island. It harks back to the days when steampackets regularly left the Machars ports. |
