| Gorsebank is a beautiful, spacious and light filled bungalow with its own private balcony affording outstanding views over the harbour and beyond to the Galloway Hills. Its private and secluded location makes this a quintessential holiday retreat; idyllic for rest, relaxation and recuperation. It is impossible to remain untouched by the lovely ambience resonating throughout the property. When is an isle not an isle When it is the Isle of Whithorn! It is situated on the southern - most tip of the Machars, an area of south west Scotland that is largely untouched and unspoilt; a region teeming with myth, legend and spirituality. It is a hidden gem with a strong and vibrant history that richly deserves its status as an outstanding conservation area. St Ninian, Scotland's first missionary, founded Christianity in this area 1600 years ago. From the 7th century onwards people have made a pilgrimage to visit his shrine in Whithorn, believing ha had the power to perform miracles and to cure illness. Over the centuries the pilgrims included the most powerful in the land and the fame of Ninian and Whithorn spread far and wide. The coastal path from the Isle to St Ninian's Cave is by way of magnificent cliffs with superb views; a memorable and uplifting walk whatever the weather. The charming little harbour is still a hive of activity and local focal point with boats entering and departing on a regular basis. The local inn is testimony to the freshness and quality of their catch. The coastline is riddled with caves and for centuries provided safe haven for smugglers. An easy climb to the isle's most familiar landmark, The Cairn, is regarded with spectacular views over to the Kirkcudbright coast, the Cumbrian Fells and the Isle of Man, just 18 miles away. The Machars coastline offers something for every age and taste; from cycling along the quiet and undulating roads to enjoying a picnic on the beautiful beaches at Rigg, Port William or Monreith (birthplace of the famous wildlife author Gavin Maxwell) to name but a few. With no light pollution to speak of the night skies are strikingly beautiful, a stroll under the stars is a romantic experience not to be missed. A visit to Garlieston will reveal a memorial to the building and testing of the Mulberry harbour which proved vital to ensuring the success of the D Day invasion in June 1944. The area is also prime mountain bike country and home to several venues for the internationally acclaimed 7Stanes trails, the nearest being at Kirroughtree near Newton Stewart.Property is all at ground floor level has electric storage heaters. |
