Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Whispering Stones, we embark on a journey to Inchagoill, a mystical island on Lough Corrib in County Galway. Rich in ancient history, Inchagoill is home to sacred ruins, including St. Patrick’s Church and the 12th-century Church of the Saints. As we explore the island’s historic churches, stone inscriptions, and ancient relics, we delve into the legends surrounding St. Patrick and his nephew, Lugnaedon. We’ll uncover the story behind the Lugnaedon Pillar, a mysterious stone with one of Ireland’s oldest inscriptions, and walk through the remains of a forgotten pilgrimage site that has stood the test of time. Join us as we reflect on Inchagoill’s past, quiet present, and potential as a retreat for modern-day creatives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
