Places of Pilgrimage is a record of the travels of artist Ian Scott Massie, as he seeks out the spirit of place of over seventy locations around Britain.
In words and paintings, he explores the personality of these sites explaining, for example, what he feels on the spot where Saint Cuthbert's coffin rooted itself to the earth, or the visions conjured up on crossing the sands to Holy Island.
Some places, which have already been interpreted by people such as A. E. Houseman, Vaughn Williams and Stanley Spencer, are presented afresh. Some are very personal choices: the landscapes painted by Paul Nash (who grew up in the same area as the artist); the village where Laurie Lee wrote Cider with Rosie; the boathouse where Dylan Thomas composed Under Milk Wood, and the industrial landscape which inspired L. S. Lowry.
Some are traditional pilgrimage sites, like Lindisfarne, Durham and Canterbury; some are places which have other holds over the visitor - the stones of Avebury, the battlefield of Culloden, the tree where Robin Hood assembled his merry men.

A lovely coffee table style gift book that is both a memoir of places of pilgrimage visited by the author, as well as short highlights about the places.
The illustrations are beautiful watercolours that are highlighted by their simplicity of detail, being largely colour wash and block work and yet so deeply evocative for that.
Here is a book that with it's simplcity of detail and information encourages you to visit these places of pilgrimage.
What is also quite nice is that these are not just the obvious christian places of pilgrimage, but just places that may spark the heart... so Barter Books at Alnwick gets a deserved look in!
