The Northern Pilgrims’ Way Group is a collection of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, brought together almost by chance. What we all have in common is a desire to encourage people to explore this little-known part of Scotland. For some in the group, the main interest is in the spiritual benefits of pilgrimage, for others it is the history attached to these ancient pilgrims – a history that deserves to be better known, and for yet more it is a desire to improve the prosperity of the area by encouraging tourism. Of course, some of the group are interested in two or even all three of these areas! The Northern Pilgrims’ Way Group has its origins in another group - the Caithness Book Club! It was research undertaken by members of the book club that highlighted the history behind the pilgrimage route and inspired others to re-establish this route. For more details, see the section on the Northern Saints Trails. Exciting news - see the ‘events’ page for details! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6fddcc8de3110698d0a581/1650477458204-IR6JKWO8LVYG57I8FLU6/map+of+pilgrim+route+001.jpg Home - Make it
