From Wikipedia: Whithorn (Taigh Mhàrtainn in Gaelic) is a small burgh in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, about ten miles south of Wigtown.
Whithorn Priory
The town was the location of the first recorded Christian church in Scotland, Candida Casa the 'White [or 'Shining'] House', built by Saint Ninian (original form Nynia) about 397. A monastery and diocese of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was founded on the site in the 8th century.
