OH....fantastic!!!! Let's know when it comes. I'm
sure most of us would be interested in it. I did read a small bit about how this
particular cross was placed as a beacon to all other christians, showing the way
and letting them know they had almost reached Scotland. I was thinking to
myself, how symbolic....just like Owen being the first of the siblings and how
he is and always will be our beacon.

The Abbey is sending a postcard with a picture of
the cross, and a guidebook which includes a picture and a brief paragraph
about it. Will wait for it to arrive

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the abbey can
give you the stuff that Jane is looking for. All the websites can give
tonnes of history, but nothing about MacLean's Cross directly. Oh well, will
keep pluggin' along!
Love K.

Have e-mailed the Iona Abbey for any
information. One of the web-sites is www.scotland-info.co.uk/iona.htm.
If you scroll through this, you will see mention of the MacLean Cross
which you pass prior to entering the Abbey. Iona, by the way, is on
the west coast of the Isle of Mull.

Karen try going to Clan MacLean society and
click on Clan Gillean -Clan macLean. There are lots of resources to be
found for our Clans history. We are descendants of MacLeans of
Duart.

Hello one and all. I have received a request from Jane (she is
without a computer) to ask everyone's assistance. She has discovered
that there is a Celtic Cross called MacLean's Cross on the island of
Iona on Scotland's west coast and she is looking for any information
or history about that particular cross. I have pulled it up on the
internet and it is linked to St. Columba, who arrived on Iona from
Ireland. The cross is a symbol to others that they have nearly arrived
in Scotland, but that's all I could find out. Could some of you
computer experts that have a little time on your hands help us out???
I told Jane that I would print and forward any information for her.
She is looking at the MacLean Cross and it's history possibly for
Owen's headstone, so all help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Love K.
