Scope and Content Warehouse, Isle of Whithorn Harbour, Wigtownshire This is the southernmost harbour in the Machars, and the harbour used by pilgrims to the shrine of St Ninian at Whithorn. The harbour is now much used by pleasure craft, and by small fishing boats. This view shows one of the warehouses on the 1790 quay, probably built soon after the quay was completed. One of the buildings on the 1790s quay is called the Steam Packet Inn, a relic of the pre-railway days in the Solway, when the steamship was the main means of communication for coastal parishes.
