P5 Hillwalk – Mary Queen of Scots Pilgrim Road

| 23 Comments

Primary 5 went on a hillwalk from Carsphairn to the abandoned village of Polmaddie. The route followed the old Pilgrim Road which led to Whithorn and the first Christian Church in Scotland. Mary Queen of Scots used this road when she visited Whithorn in 1566. The road today is a grassy track which can still be seen in many places. We also found some engraved stones with crosses on them which showed it was a Pilgrim Road.
