Title: Pilgrimage in Medieval Scotland
Description: "The idea of the pilgrimage is like an unbroken thread that connects us with our medieval ancestors. It is also a means of understanding medieval life and faith. Peter Yeoman examines places of pilgrimage from local holy wells, trees and crosses to famous sites such as St. Andrews and Whithorn. Yeoman also looks at the individual association of saints and places, people's reasons for pilgrimage and their experience of pilgrimage in Scotland and elsewhere in Europe. The book also includes a practical guide to the principal places of pilgrimage in Scotland today."--Jacket.
