Inchcolm - Terry Johns

The island of Inchcolm was visited by St Columba in 567 and is mentioned in Shakespeareas Macbeth. It lies on the stretch of water beyond my balcony, known locally as aMortimeras deepa, and on short winter days, the ruins of Columbaas abbey are shrouded in the mists of the estuary and bring a flavour of mystery and legend to my morning coffee.
