Invitation to Scotland: Walk in the Footsteps of John Knox

​

Jennifer and I are going to Scotland this year. We aren’t going in July. That trip has been canceled. Instead, we will go with folks from around the country. The tour is September 8-17, 2025. Perhaps you wanted to go, but July wasn’t a good time. This trip is also three days longer, for about the same price.

You will find photos and a listing of amenities such as first-class hotels and deluxe motor coaches.

Most importantly, this trip promises a journey to the rugged landscapes of Scotland, where we will immerse

ourselves in the powerful legacy of the Scottish Reformation. We will follow the path of John Knox, the

fiery preacher who forever changed Scotland's religious and political landscape in the 16th century.

Experience Scotland's Reformation Heritage, Explore Edinburgh's Royal Mile, where Knox delivered thunderous sermons at St. Giles' Cathedral that ech- oed through the cobblestone streets. Stand in the pulpit from which Knox challenged monarchs and moved a nation toward Protestant reform.

Visit historic Perth, where Knox's inflammatory sermon against "idolatry" in 1559 sparked a religious revo- lution that swept across Scotland. Walk through the ancient stone archways of St. John's Kirk, where those fateful words were spoken.

​

A Journey Through Time and Faith

• Discover Knox's House in Edinburgh's Old Town, preserved as a testament to this remarkable reformer's life.

• Explore the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, where the early seeds of the Scottish Reformation were planted.

• Visit Stirling Castle, where Knox served as chaplain to young King James VI.

Beyond the Reformation

The tour also promises we'll experience Scotland's breathtaking landscapes - misty glens, ancient castles

perched on dramatic cliffs, and serene lochs reflecting the ever-changing sky. Enjoy warm Scottish hospital- ity in charming villages and historic towns that witnessed this pivotal chapter in history.

​

This journey offers more than historical exploration - it provides insight into how one man's conviction re- shaped a nation's spiritual identity, forever changing Scotland's relationship with power, religion, and inde- pendence.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, theology scholar, or simply seeking a meaningful travel experience, walking in John Knox's footsteps through Scotland promises an unforgettable journey through faith, cour- age, and the enduring Scottish spirit.
