The Pilgrim Podcast: Day 4 | Iona To Lindisfarne | Lectio 365

"Dalmally: Day4 - in which we discover Craig Lodge, a Catholic House of Prayer deep in the heart of the Highlands with its own gun room! We also chat about the historical and contemporary significance of pilgrimage, the lost art of ‘underwhelming’, and @rich_dawson_music our resident minstrel somehow knocks out another lovely song.

Dalmally’s most famous son is John Smith QC, the late, great politician whose sudden death made way for Tony Blair to lead the British Labour Party. It’s a little known fact that this great mean cultivated the private habit of stepping away from the frenzy of Westminster at least once a year for a solitary retreat on #Iona where he would spend time in prayer kneeling late into the night in its ancient abbey.
