St Conan’s Pilgrims Way: Iona to Dalmally, or Dalmally to Iona – 73 miles, 6-7 days
There is something special about this pilgrimage way – it connects the two significant holy places of Iona – famous through St Columba for bringing the Christian faith to the Highlands of Scotland in the 6th century – and Dalmally – where St Conan, a disciple of St Columba, founded a community on an area of ground known as Clachan Diseart on which stands the present iconic octagonal Church of Scotland.
There is still the remains of holy well dedicated to St Conan in the village, once said to have facilitated healings. Today Dalmally is home to Craig Lodge Family House of Prayer, which is a centre for worship, retreats and healing. Pilgrims are always welcome but should arrange accommodation in advance.

There are a few difficult bits of terrain to navigate, and the map shows the general route but not a specific path. These difficult sections are marked on the Google Map – for clearest navigation, see this routes page.

Discover holy places, and bring your own beliefs.
Pilgrimage by foot is connected with places and landscape, and how those places make you feel. Read about holy places.
At the British Pilgrimage Trust, we believe a pilgrimage should be made on an individual’s own terms. We are founded on the principle that we can all bring our own beliefs to the journey, accessible and welcoming to all.
