Is Lindisfarne a Farne Island?
Lindisfarne Castle and the Farne Islands are now both in the care of the National Trust, but the links between the two places go back much further. I've been thinking recently about how closely the Farne Islands and Holy Island are connected and how so often the stories of the two places intertwine through history.
Why are the Farne Islands so called?
Indeed, it is appropriate that one suggested meaning for the name of the Farne Islands is that it derives from 'Farena Ealande' the 'Island of the Pilgrims'.
