Places of Pilgrimage
by Ian Scott Massie

"Beautifully interprets in word and image the personalities of well-known and less familiar places of pilgrimage in Britain.
Places of Pilgrimage is a record of the travels of artist Ian Scott Massie, as he seeks out the spirit of place of over 75 locations around Britain. In words and paintings, he explores the personality of these sites explaining, for example, what he feels on the spot where Saint Cuthbert’s coffin rooted itself to the earth, or the visions conjured up on crossing the sands to Holy Island."
