Some pilgrims visiting the Iona pick up two stones from the beach. One is thrown back into the sea as a symbol of something in their life that they would like to leave behind. The other is taken home as a sign of a new commitment they have made.

Machair, west coast of Iona
A walk this day from Baile Mor past Martyrs Bay, Crossroads, the golf course to Machair.

Beautiful pictures, Ginny. Didn't I always hear that if everyone took a stone there eventually wouldn't be any left. Maybe the sea keeps replacing them. Can't wait to see your collection. I have mine out front from most of my hikes.
