The Book of Kells: Was it made in Easter Ross?
25 March, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Skye & online: free
The Book of Kells is often called the world’s most famous manuscript, but its origins are shrouded in mystery. Dr Victoria Whitworth challenges the consensus that the Book was made in the island of Iona, making a case instead for the Pictish monastery of Portmahomack.

Medieval monks in Easter Ross – and not the Hebridean island of Iona – may have created the intricately decorated 1,200-year-old Book of Kells, according to researchers. A new project will explore the possibility it was created at a monastery in Portmahomack where there was a workshop turning animal hides into vellum.
