On the shores of Luce Bay in the Machars of Galloway, slightly to the north of Burrowhead (famed for the burning of The Wickerman) lies St Ninian`s Cave.
St Ninian`s Cave can only be reached by foot and the easiest approach is by walking down an excellent footpath through a leafy glen from Physgill then along the pebbly shore to the cave. There are great views towards the Isle of Man and many opportunities for wildlife spotting – including grey seals. It is also possible to walk from Burrowhead, mainly along a cliff path although this approach is 4.5 miles one way.
While it is not a commercial attraction in that there is no admission charge or gift shop, St Ninian`s Cave has excellent reviews on TripAdvisor which may be of interest.
St Ninian`s Cave is believed to have been St Ninian`s retreat and in the 1800`s various crosses were found and removed to the museum at nearby Whithorn.
