June saw 19 of us (Helpers and friends) undertake a walking pilgrimage from Newton Stewart to St. Ninian’s Cave. The 40 miles was spread over five days, and the ages spread from 28 – 78. The scenery, sharing and solidarity made it a week to remember – as did the sing-alongs and laughs of the evenings – inevitable with 19 of us in one caravan for dinner!
On reaching St. Ninian’s cave, after a day of walking in the hot sunshine, we were as glad of the cool shade as much as spiritual heritage! We did however locate a suitable stone, covered it with St. Ninian’s tartan and shared the most beautiful Mass – complete with birds attending their nests above and the sound of the sea lapping beside us.
