About
Walk in the footsteps of St Columba - the iconic saint who changed the destiny of these islands forever.
We follow an ancient pathway trodden by pilgrims since the 9th century, pausing at must-see landmarks on the way that take you from an early Medieval berthing port to the flashpoints of the recent conflict and deep into the sanctuary of Columba's Doire where his kneeling stone has been venerated from the earliest times.
