I’ve put the dates on our calendar.
Philip Hughes’ sketch of the ‘blue’ Stones of Stenness, for me, held echoes of the little painted stone we saw when walking from the Dam O’ Hoxa to the Sands O’ Wright…

From Kilmartin Museum…..
"St Columba Exhibition travels to Kilmartin, 1st - 23rd April 2024
Part of a year-long tour throughout Argyll and Bute during 2023-2024, the exhibition will be on display at the Museum’s Learning Centre between 1st and 23rd April 2024, on weekdays Monday to Friday 11am until 3pm.
On loan from Donegal County Museum, Ireland, Cuairt Chaluim Chille // Touring St Columba began its year-long tour throughout Argyll and Bute, arriving in Scotland for the first-time last June and is now on its third leg, having previously visited Campbeltown Museum and the Islay Gaelic Centre.
This exhibition celebrates the life and legacy of Colmcille and was displayed throughout Ireland in 2021, marking the 1500th anniversary of the birth of Colmcille. The exhibition celebrates the cultural, historical, and religious inheritance of Colmcille, who holds significant prominence in the early history of Christianity. Revered as one of Ireland's three patron saints, his life has become interwoven with folklore and legends. Beyond Ireland, he played a pivotal role in disseminating Christianity across Scotland, England, and various parts of Europe.
If you would like to visit the exhibition there is no need to book, and on arrival at the museum car park, follow signage which will guide you to the Museum Learning centre which is at the rear of the main museum building.
We look forward to seeing you!
