Writing the Island

21 March 2026 @ 3:00 pm - 27 March 2026 @ 9:00 am

A pair of hiking boots on sandy and grassy ground. For writing the island week at iona Abbey

Join Kenneth Steven for a week of walking and writing and discovering the Celtic Christian stories and places of Iona. 

In this active and reflective week, we will explore the Celtic Christian story written into the island. You will have the chance to seek out the secret places of Iona that so many visitors never encounter. We will then use our imaginations to write the stories of those places in the comfort of Iona Abbey.

Writing the Island is best suited for fit walkers who will enjoy long days in the outdoors. Come prepared for bogs and heather and early spring weather.
