Hi @gill Thanks for the heads up but @patti is correct. Lindisfarne is the more famous English holy isle. And then there are at least two I know of in Scotland. Iona, a famous Christian site like Lindisfarne and Holy Isle off the coast of Arran which is owned by the Buddhists of Samye Ling.
Hi Gill, I think you have the wrong. Holy Isle here. Vera's home is the holy Island, Lindisfarne, off the east coast of Scotland. Alistair's Holy Isle is much smaller and is off the West coast Alistair has narrated a lovely documentary, called A Stroll round holy Isle, available on YouTube. Well worth a look and who better to narrate it than our Alistair..♥️🙏
