Welcome to a mesmerizing journey to the sacred island of Iona in our latest episode! Join us as we embark on a quest to discover the elusive spirit of this mystical place and delve into its rich history.
In this captivating adventure, we unravel the captivating story of St Columba, the trailblazer who brought Christianity to Scotland, right here on Iona. Explore the ancient Abbey that stands as a testament to his remarkable legacy and learn about the profound impact it had on shaping the spiritual landscape of Scotland.
However, our exploration doesn’t stop at the Abbey’s walls. We’ll also delve into a tumultuous chapter in Iona’s history—the Viking raids that brought an abrupt end to the flourishing monastery. Discover the captivating tales of conquest and resilience as we uncover the untold stories of those who lived through those challenging times.
Leaving the shores of Iona behind, we set sail from our anchorage in Tinker’s Hole, navigating the scenic waters along the Ross of Mull. Our destination? The protected anchorage of Loch Spelve, renowned for its delectable mussels—a true culinary delight! But there’s a catch. To reach our gastronomic haven, we must skillfully time our journey to pass through the tidal gate at the narrow entrance of Loch Spelve.
Join us on this awe-inspiring adventure, where history, spirituality, and nature intertwine to create an unforgettable experience.
