In Search of Angels

In this audiobook, Alistair Moffat explores the legacy of Irish saints known as the "white martyrs," who traveled to the Hebrides and the Atlantic shores of Scotland fourteen centuries ago. Focusing on figures like Columba, the founder of Iona, and others who sought solitary lives dedicated to prayer and reflection, Moffat journeys through the landscapes where these courageous men lived and served. He uncovers their impact not through physical remnants but in the enduring spirit and cadence of the Gaelic language, highlighting how their profound piety and connection to the land continue to resonate today.
