TO THE ISLAND OF TIDES: A JOURNEY TO LINDISFARNE (PB)

Walking from his home in the Borders, through the landscape of southern Scotland and northern England, Alistair Moffat takes us on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of saints and scholars, before arriving for a secular retreat on the island of Lindisfarne. Known by the Romans as Insula Medicata and famous for its monastery, it even survived Viking raids and today maintains its position as a space for retreat and spiritual renewal. He takes us on a walk through history with a meditation on the power of place, and a reflection on where life leads us.
