And the toast was St. Columba!
We marked St.Columba’s Day on June 9th with a party, celebrating our Immrama (Voyage Tales) project. Our in-church exhibition has already been visited by hundreds of visitors and now its companion website, www.immrama.online is available for those who can’t visit in person, or who want to explore Columba’s legacy more fully.
Our Rector, David Paton-Williams who was part of the working -group of members who created the exhibition, welcomed a large throng of guests from near and far. “We are rightfully proud of what we have achieved” he said. He thanked people who had contributed expertise – Catherine Gillies (project facilitator), Andy McGregor (graphic designer), Michael Smith ( video-maker), Cat Outram and other artists, John Longley (soundscape-creator) and academics such as Dr Gilbert Markus.
