An incentive, if I even need one, to walk the St. Magnus Way. Orcadian composer Gemma McGregor and I will perform The Pilgrim's Path based on 6 stages of the walk at #stmagnusfestival this June in @stmagnuscathedral.bsky.social @scottishmusic.bsky.social

St Magnus Cathedral, Orkney @stmagnuscathedral.bsky.social · Apr 17

We have just received these beautiful scallop shells at the cathedral. They are from Orkney waters; cleaned, drilled and threaded by lovely volunteers Stuart, Corwen and Kate. You will receive one, along with a certificate, if you complete the St Magnus Way pilgrimage. Photo by Corwen.

A hand holding strings attached to scallop shells. A large red church with a pointed spire in the background, green grass in front.
