It is becoming fairly urgent for someone knowledgeable to contribute about the recent history of Whithorn: the main street, until recently verging on the derelict, is becoming prettied up and gentrified, and there are rumours that a lot of EU money has hit town. Unless its preceding history is recorded it may be lost. Deipnosophista 21:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I notice "Isle of Whithorn" re-directs to "Whithorn" and, the way the Whithorn entry is written, it sounds like the Isle of Whithorn is part of Whithorn. In fact, the two places are separate and distinct. I am not a local, but my father and his family came from the Isle and I know the two separate places. As far as I know, it's called an "Isle" because, when there is a very high tide, it floods the road and isolates the land at the far end of the village.

[edit] This article is awful
I came here to learn something about Whithorn. I find an unsourced ramble about its ecclesiastical history with special note on etymological pedantry. I still know nothing about Whithorn. Useless, worthless, and in no way encyclopedic.
