About this event
Enter a landscape where myth breathes through mountains and history settles deep in the bones of the earth. In this seminar, Margaret guides us on a virtual pilgrimage through Scotland’s storied terrain—an exploration for travelers and armchair adventurers alike. We begin in Edinburgh, then journey north to meet the Kelpies, legendary waterspirits shaped as seahorses. At Kilmartin Glen, ancient stones whisper of ancestors; on Iona, St. Columba’s arrival still echoes across the holy isle. In the highlands we encounter the Cailleach, the stormmother who shapes mountains, before standing beneath the venerable Fortingall Yew, Scotland’s oldest tree. Returning to Edinburgh, we walk the Royal Mile and listen for the voices of the city’s long remembered witches. Whether you seek mythic itineraries, historical insight, or simply the pleasure of story, this seminar invites you into Scotland’s enduring weave of legend and land. Margaret Jones, M.Ed. has a background in social work, education, and holds a certificate in therapeutic storytelling. She is an award-winning storyteller, workshop leader, tarot reader and travel guide. She has traveled extensively through the British Isles and currently leads trips several times a year. Her book Walking Sacred Sites: Listening to the Stories can be found on Amazon as well as in Sherman’s bookstores throughout Maine.
