About Wigtown and the 01988 Area Code
Garlieston is a planned 18th-century village on the eastern shore of Garlieston Bay in the Machars peninsula of Dumfries and Galloway, built by Lord Garlies as a harbour village for the export of agricultural produce. During the Second World War, Garlieston harbour played a secret role in testing the Mulberry Harbours used in the D-Day landings, and sections of the experimental floating breakwaters were trialled in the bay. The village retains its attractive Georgian layout with colour-washed houses overlooking the harbour.
The 01988 area serves the scattered communities of the Machars, the fertile peninsula between Wigtown Bay and Luce Bay. Whithorn is one of the most historically important places in Scotland, the site of the first recorded Christian church in the country, founded by St Ninian around 397 AD; the Whithorn Priory and archaeological dig have revealed continuous settlement from the 5th century. Port William is a small harbour village on Luce Bay. Sorbie has a ruined 16th-century tower house of the Hannay family. Kirkinner and Mochrum are quiet farming parishes in the rolling green countryside of this mild, Gulf Stream-influenced peninsula.
A 01988 virtual phone number gives your business a presence in the Machars of Galloway, an area of exceptional early Christian heritage and gentle pastoral beauty. The Whithorn Pilgrims' Way, Wigtown's status as Scotland's National Book Town, and the area's mild climate and unspoilt coastline all contribute to a distinctive sense of place.
