Episode 3. Iona
Sunday, 21st January 2007, 5.05pm, Radio Scotland
John Purser tells the story of Columba’s arrival on Iona, where at first he wasn’t necessarily welcomed with open arms. And courtesy of pipers Hamish Moore and Barnaby Brown, we hear the mysterious triple pipes, an instrument found in Scotland and Sardinia.
