St Ninian's 30-year Journey among the Picts of Scotland
Talk by Audrey Munro, based on research by 20th century biographer, Rev. Dr. Archibald Scott (Helmsdale's minister for over 50 years). This is part 2 of two walks on the topic of St Ninian (the first is on 16th Sept, 11-1 at Timespan and focusses on his early life).
Venue: Timespan Museum, Helmsdale
This talk follows Ninian’s journey from Galloway to Shetland, focusing on Navidale and the Saint’s other northern foundations at Wick, and on Orkney and Shetland. The talk will also cover Pictish sculptured stones connecting Ninian and Dr. Scott, and the national commemorations in 1932 marking the 1500th anniversary of the Saint’s death. There are also plans to visit Ninian’s site at Navidale by minibus in the afternoon.
