What is the best time to visit Whithorn?

The best time to visit Whithorn is from May through August, as it offers extended summer daylight hours and relatively good weather. However, it can bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer, try to avoid travelling during the Scottish school holidays in July and early August. The Wigtown Book Festival is always a popular event in the area and typically takes place in late September/early October.
