We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Isle of Whithorn is a charming and picturesque harbour village located on the stunning Machars Peninsula, approximately 3 miles south-east of Whithorn.
Rich in maritime heritage and coastal beauty, the village was once a true island before being connected to the mainland by a causeway in the late 18th century.
Today, it offers a peaceful and welcoming community centred around its attractive working harbour, where fishing boats and pleasure craft can often be seen.
The area is renowned for its historical significance, with nearby attractions including the ruins of St Ninian's Chapel, St Ninian's Cave, and the Iron Age roundhouse and fort remains near the lighthouse.
Surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery, the village is a haven for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, sailors and outdoor adventurers, while the nearby Whithorn Trust Discovery Centre provides fascinating insight into the region's rich early Christian heritage.
Combining history, natural beauty and a relaxed coastal lifestyle, the Isle of Whithorn remains one of Dumfries and Galloway's most desirable seaside locations.
