Claire McCollum meets HRH the Princess Royal on the remote Scottish island of Iona.

Claire McCollum meets HRH the Princess Royal on the remote Scottish island of Iona and joins others inspired by its special atmosphere as a place of Christian pilgrimage.

Claire McCollum visits the beautiful and remote Scottish island of Iona and meets HRH the Princess Royal to hear of her interest in the buildings of Iona Abbey. Author Ian Bradley explains how 1,500 years ago St Columba brought Christianity to Iona, and Warden of Iona Abbey Catriona Robertson tells Claire about how learning to embrace different views is key to community life. Prolific hymn writer and broadcaster John Bell describes why Iona will always be special to him, and Glasgow-based singer Unoma Okudo visits Iona for the first time to perform the hymn Here is Love. Hymns and songs are O Worship the King, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, Will You Come and Follow Me, Glory Be to God the Father, We Cannot Measure How You Heal, and a new performance of a song by John Bell and Alison Robertson, Love is the Touch.
