Transfigurations on Ben Nevis

The second of four pilgrimages on the highest peaks of the UK’s nations, marking the ѿý's Centenary - Anna Magnusson and Alastair McIntosh are among the wild crags of Ben Nevis.

The second of four programmes of pilgrimage from the highest peaks of the UK’s nations, marking the ѿý's Centenary.
Writer and broadcaster Anna Magnusson and Quaker and community activist Alastair McIntosh find their thoughts drawn to the story of Jesus' transfiguration on the holy mountain, as they brave the elements among the wild crags of Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest mountain.
Alastair and Anna explore the roots of faith as their reflections survey the rock, soil and water of Scotland's landscape where saints have walked, and from earliest times people have found awe and inspiration.
