There are places where the location is more than either built environment or nature – such as Erraid and Iona. Here are stories that have a strong sense of place – even if they take place in a building such as Cluny or Newbold House.

I first came to the Findhorn Foundation's Cluny Hill College 25 years ago and spent most of my time working in the kitchen. Having grown up with the Panto tradition I brought that with me and have written and directed many pantomimes in the Community.

Looking after Cluny Library

|2025-10-27T16:50:51+00:00August 3rd, 2025|Categories: Community Places, Spiritual Education|Tags: , |

There is not a great deal to be said about a room full of books other than its ability to inform and inspire, its literary reach and broad base of content. So, please indulge me as I can only write about the library in the context of Cluny itself, the marvellous Victorian house, devoted resident staff, glorious setting, its function and a little about how the library impacted my life over those years.
