Bishop Brian heading out from Melrose Abbey
Bishop Brian and walkers on the Eildon Hills
Walking groups from across the Edinburgh diocese met in Melrose for a walk ‘in the steps of St Cuthbert’ led by Bishop Brian. There were two groups - one heading through the Eildon hills to Bowden (and a visit to the ancient Bowden Kirk) then on to Newton-St Boswells to meet the other group who had come round the Eildons passing Thomas the Rhymer’s Stone. We then walked on together to cross the river Tweed and on to Dryburgh Abbey. At the begining of the walk the bishop led us in prayers in Melrose Abbey and at the end of the ‘pilgrimage’ in Dryburgh we sang and prayed giving thanks for a good day out and enjoyable company.
The weather was fair, there was plenty of good company and chat as we walked and everyone seemed to enjoy the outing.
We hope that the bishop will make this a regular event.
