Ascent
 

Starting from Glasserton Church (no longer a place of worship) originally built almost 400 years ago, we reach the coast above St Ninian's Cave and hug the coastline southwards, with views across Luce Bay and the Irish Sea. Along the way we note spots ear-marked for archaeological investigation, and hopefully also seabirds and seals.  On the final stretch our destination, the old fishing village of the Isle of Whithorn, reveals itself with the backdrop of the Solway Firth.
