Iona: the Weekly Pilgrimage

August 12, 2008

      
The pilgrimage starts at one of the crosses outside the Abbey, then goes to the nunnery and up the hill track towards the crossroads

 
The only crossroads on Iona is one of the places where the pilgrims stop for a brief reflection
 
Another stop where Malcolm, the warden of the Iona Community at the Abbey addresses the pilgrims
 
There were roughly 80 pilgrims at the start but some took an easier route which avoided bogs and scrambles 
 
  The pilgrims got quite spread out at times
 
We made our way down to the marble quarry - Iona marble is in the font and altar in the Abbey church 
     
Waste rock at the harbour for the quarry  
     


 



 

 
The rock seemed even blacker in real life
