All roads merge in St. Andrews, centre of medieval and modern pilgrimage, at a Celtic place of prayer. Columba and Andrew.

Crossing the Tay and travelling the last leg to St Andrews you follow the path of kings, queens, hermits, and thousands through the medieval centuries.

Scotland’s ancient kingdom was formed around these places. Picts and Scots were symbolically united by moving Columba’s relics at Dunkeld.

On this additional loop, we follow St. Adomnan, Abbot of Iona, through Argyll and into the Perthshire glens, pausing at ancient places of Christian story.

Follow St. Fillan, by travelling from Lochalsh to Tyndrum and then eastwards through Glendochart. On the way he left healing places associated with sources of natural water.
