Whithorn Way
The Whithorn Way is a newly mapped 143 mile walking and cycling route, which follows much of the westerly pilgrimage route from Glasgow Cathedral to Whithorn. This route was travelled by pilgrims for well over 1000 years, and the Church of St John the Baptist was a regular calling point along the way.
