Iona and Govan - with Dr. Adrián Maldonado

Dr. Adrián Maldonado talks to Dr. Tom Horne about the fascinating parallels in early Christian art and cult practice between Iona and Govan Old. Don't miss a truly absorbing discussion about the carved stones of these enormously important Christian centres, and a particularly fascinating suggestion about what Govan's recumbent cross slabs grave markers might be telling us about the location of a saint's cult within the ancient churchyard!

Dr. Maldonado is Galloway Hoard Researcher at National Museums Scotland.
