Book Synopsis Pilgrimage in Medieval Scotland by : Peter Yeoman
Book excerpt: Pilgrimage in Medieval Scotland is the first account of the nature and significance of Scottish medieval pilgrimages. Pilgrimage is 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 pieces, people's reasons for pilgrimage and their experience of pilgrimage in Scotland and elsewhere in Europe.
