NINIAN'S, Founded in 397 by St. Ninian, and again by Fergus of Galloway in the reign of King David, 1143. The see was afterwards attached to the deanery of the Chapel Royal, Stirling, until the latter was granted to the Bishops of Dunblane. In 1606 it was restored to the see of Galloway. Tongland Abbey was in later times an appanage of Whitherne. The Cathedral of St. Martin, built at the end of the twelfth century, and now roofless and ruined, is an oblong, measuring 74 feet by 38 feet; it had a fine tower on the south-west. The west end is Norman; there is a good south doorway. The remainder of the building is partly Early English and partly Decorated. It contained a Holyrood altar. The first church was built by French masons, who came from St. Martin's Abbey, at Tours.

Pilgrims of high degree from England, Ireland, and Man, and a French ambassador at the King's charges, are found visiting these famous reliques. The see was subject to York until the fourteenth century, and probably until 1472, when St. Andrew's became metropolitan; in 1491 it was removed within the province of Glasgow; and the Bishop was Vicar General in the vacancy of that see. The chapter was, as at Pampeluna, composed of Praemonstrensian canons who held prebends of Borgue, Crossmichael, Twyname, Kirkcudbright, Laswede, Stonykirk, Whitherne, Wigton, and Dairy; and the churches of Glas...
