[Continued] was the practice of travelling to the shrine of St Ninian in quest of both physical & spiritual good that in spite of all the preachers could inculcate or the famous Sir David Lindsay could write it continued some time after the Reformation & was not effectually put down till an act of Parliament passed in 1581 rendering it illegal. The overthrow of the traffic of Monkery & the factitious attraction of St Ninian's Shrine terminated the social importance of Whithorn,
"In 1684 the tower of the Church was still standing among the ruins of the Aisles transepts and extensive monastic buildings (See next page) |

The Chancel has been preserved being used by parishioners till of late years as their place of worship. It was built upon the site of much more ancient buildings which had been the crypt as it would seem of an extensive Church for there are large Vaults around of old & rude Masonry which rise higher than the chancel floor. They must have been part of the original Church of St Ninian of the 4th century or built by the Saxons in the 8th Century. (See next page) |

In the North wall in the usual place near the E [East] end are two canopied recesses apparently sepulchral ones nearly on the level of the floor, in one of which doubtless St Ninian's body lay. This even is now dismantled. a new building was erected about 20 years ago which is now the place of worship for the Parishioners. the roof & furniture were removed from the old chancel & the mere walls left.

At the end nearest the Church on the North side is a house formerly the parochial School Over the door is a Stone bearing a Latin inscription Over an inscription in English the latter is "Train up a child in the way he should go""AD 1730" |
