We got a personal tour guide with Ruaridh as we were the only visitors at that time. He was full of great information and we had opportunity for our questions. The roundhouse re-creation was amazing. Sheer size of construction demonstrating what they were capable of all those years ago.
Extra artefacts on display in the visitors centre.
Thanks Ruaridh - our time flew by as you are so knowledgeable.

Rude!
We visited the museum having done the round house tour a few days earlier to be met by a very smart lady who began by telling us that she couldn't do a tour as she had meetings but then proceeded to start talking about the artifacts. We followed her on but we hadn't understood what she said and asked a question at which point she told us we should have arrived for her tour rather than the other one and that we hadn't been listening so took us back to the beginning. Extremely rude and we left. Beware ye who enter and dare to ask a question!

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff made the visit enormously enjoyable – an afternoon proved too short a time to soak up all that was on offer prompting a return the next day!
The steward of the museum is knowledgeable and was able to kindle our interest in the amazing collection of crosses from the Whithorn Masonry School – transporting us back to the early mediaeval period and helping us to grasp the importance of sea travel and the vibrance of Whithorn and nearby Isle of Whithorn in those days. The following day the guide to the Roundhouse transported us further back in time to the prehistoric era – mesmerising us with his passion for this period of history – over 45 minutes passed quickly as we sat in the roundhouse listening to him, learning about the background to this reconstruction and life in those ancient times – enabling us to ignore the rain outside! Afterwards we enjoyed delicious hot soup in the visitor centre at a very reasonable price. The display in the visitor centre was also engaging. The background gained from the museum and visitor centre assisted in our appreciation of the priory ruins. The adjacent church was also a delight to visit and is a place for reflection.
There is so much on offer – allow plenty of time or utilise the ticket’s validity for 12 months to return for more.

Really interesting guided tour of the reconstructed Iron Age roundhouse which took about 45 minutes, then there are two separate museums to look around.

Visited this week, really great trip!
Ruaridh was a fantastic guide. Really knowledge and clearly passionate. It was incredible to learn about how people might have lived in and around roundhouses.
The roundhouse itself is excellent and the exhibitions are fab too!

Debbie, the Museum, is the reason to go learn about this intriuging history. She is fun, engaging and immensely knowledgeable of her Scottish history as a whole!! Don't bother at the visitor center once you get the ticket (they are very unfriendly and ill mannered)

Viewing any exhibition through the expertise of a guide always brings history to life and Tom did this brilliantly. He explained the history of the roundhouse with humorous touches which was highly engaging. It was fascinating to hear about how it was constructed and why. Afterwards, he took us around the gallery and explained the carvings and possible explanations for the designs. A brilliant experience from a fellow Nottinhamian.

Fantastic Iron Age site and Museum so recommended for an step back in history
We were very luck to be shown around the Iron Age roundhouse by one of people who reconstructed the roundhouse Tom. He was a wonderful guide with a wealth of knowledge. He made our visit more the special.
The Museum and exhibition has a vast collection of information about the surrounding county and beautifully present.
Would so recommend a visit and ask for Tom
Thank you

In this small town/Burgh in Dumfries and Galloway, you will find this delightful history/archaeology experience.
Visit the museum, sign up for the tour of the excavation site and the round house, and you may see apprentices using traditional tools to turn, shape and construct in timber.
Thank you Ruairidh for your knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional tour of the precinct and the roundhouse.
The cafe and museum are run by friendly and welcoming staff and the food is cheap, freshly made and delicious. Whithorn is lucky to have this gem.

A lovely welcome, a trip into Iron Age History and a Great Tour Guide - Ruaridh, who was very knowledgable. The the lunch was yummy, if a bit expensive for a ham sandwich. The local Residents spoke to us which made us feel welcome.
The museum has findings from recent digs in the local area.
The tour of the Roundhouse was amazing, it bought back very distant memories of RJ Unsteads, history books in Primary School.
After the Tour we popped in to see the stone collection and a quick look at the Priory, sadly enclosed in steel fencing.
And what is more amazing I can go back time and time again, if Iam in the neighbourhood again.

Sorry I cannot . As we are members of Historic Scotland we did not pay. Look on Historic Scotland's website.
