Celtic Journeys: In Scotland and the North of England

As interest grows in Britain's Celtic heritage, this book provides a guide to the places associated with its teachers and missionaries - the Celtic saints. It contains eight tours, each based upon the movements of specific individuals and their followers. They include Ninian, Kentigern, Columba, Kenneth, Adomnan, Cuthbert, Aidan and Hilda. Illustrated with maps and photographs, the book aims to help the traveller to understand the way in which Celtic saints turned their backs on the dark centuries that preceded their emergence, bringing the light of learning and of faith to the barbarous tribes of England and Scotland.
