Have you watched BBC Two's latest reality TV series "Pilgrimage: Road to the Scottish Isles"? All three episodes are currently available on iPlayer.

The merry band of pilgrims includes thoughtful 'Pagan' Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen, wise Christian instagram influencer Scarlet Moffat, kind Sikh cricketer Monty Panesar, serious Muslim comedian Shazia Mirza, loving Jewish actress Louisa Clein and other great casting choices.

It's such a heartfelt exploration within a group of people discovering what pilgrimage can do to dissolve tribal barriers. Watching this inspires us to continue to promote this humanising activity of pilgrimage – it is so valuable for bringing people together in search of what really matters.

The route goes from Ireland's Donegal to Scotland's Iona, and is dedicated to Saint Columba, from Celtic times. It visits prehistoric pilgrim places like stone circles and a cave, as well as more traditional Christian places.
