Founding Saint, Castle and Even More Ancient

St Cuthbert travelled across Northern Britain from Iona on the West Coast to Lindisfarne on the East Coast where he founded a community which changed the name of the place to Holy Island.
Hard to imagine the work on building that castle in the background on top of that promontory.



Even older is this other even more ancient site which looks like a building formed from Hebrew characters.

That's a nice one of the Saint Cuthbert statue and the distant Lindisfarne Castle framed between trees. It may be an unworthy thought but I wish Saint Cuthbert would come back momentarily and with a wave of his holy hand cause to disappear that modern background building interposed exactly on the line between the Priory and the Castle.
