O knihe
Looking at medieval maps of the traditional pilgrim routes to the
Spanish cathedral city of Santiago de Compostela, it is noticeable
that there are no roads from Scotland. Noticeable at least to the
Scots author of this book.
Patrick Farnon, who splits his time between Scotland, the
Netherlands and Spain, says: "I thought it might be a good idea to
invent such a route. Of the various well-trodden roads to Santiago
we have the French way (El Camino Frances), the Fisterra Way (El
Camino de Fisterra), the English Way (El Camino Ingles), the Silver
Way (La Via de La Plata from Seville), the Northern Way (El
Camino del Norte, along the Cantabrian and Basque coasts) and the
Primitive Way (El Camino Primitivo, from Oviedo). There's also a
Portuguese Way. So why not a Scots Way to Santiago?"
The situation now stands corrected. In this amusing record of a
personal odyssey across the shoulder of Spain looking for the links
between the Scots and the Spanish, Farnon mixes the Medieval with
the Modern and discovers all sorts of marvels and wonders as well as
a few charlatans.
In this account he covers the Camino Frances to Santiago de
Compostela and way back via the Camino de Fisterra and the
Camino del Norte, a trip of nearly two thousand kilometres. He also
finds more than a few ancient links, which means there is at last a
Scots Way to Santiago de Compostela, even if it is a very singular
one.
