Customer Reviews

Absolutely essential companion
This book is an absolutely essential companion to a visit to Iona. The book covers the key places of pilgrimage with helpful notes and words for meditation and prayer when you arrive at the individual places.
Dont pay over the odds on amazon for the book though as it is readily available from the Abbey bookshop on Iona.
