2 Whithorn Priory
Mary’s grandfather, James IV, was known for his piety and made several pilgrimages to Whithorn, one of the earliest Christian settlements in Scotland.
Mary followed in his footsteps only once in August 1563. Much had changed since James’s day – Scotland was now a Protestant country and the monasteries had been closed down.
