I was surprised at no mention of the re-building of Iona Abbey and its life as a current place of pilgrimage and retreat!
Good point Charles! The piece does say “today is still a place of pilgrimage and spiritual retreats” but that could certainly be elaborated on! Have you been a pilgrim yourself or are you knowledgeable about the re-building? My style of reporting is to largely share information through the voice of local people or experts. PLease chime in with your insights! I’d love to learn more and I am sure others would too!
