The Two Shrines Pilgrimage was established in 2016 to pray for the reconversion of Scotland following the model of the Chartres Pilgrimage. It takes place annually during July, when pilgrims walk from the National Shrine of St Andrew in St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh, to the ruins of St Andrew’s mediaeval shrine in St Andrews, a distance of around sixty miles. As at Chartres, the programme incorporates the Traditional Latin Mass and devotions.
This year we look forward to welcoming new and returning pilgrims for our TENTH ANNIVERSARY PILGRIMAGE, which will take place from Saturday 25 July to 27 July, with applications now open. To register or volunteer for the pilgrimage, or to make a donation, please use the links below.
Questions about the pilgrimage should be emailed to the President of the Confraternity, Mark Hamid, using the following address: cosn.president@gmail.com.
Walk the Two Shrines Pilgrimage
Applications to walk our 2026 Two Shrines Pilgrimage will be accepted until Tuesday 30 June. All fees must be paid in full by 12 July.
If you have any questions about the registration process please email cosn.president@gmail.com.
Volunteer for the Two Shrines Pilgrimage
Our pilgrimage would simply not be possible without the contribution of our volunteers. This year we are offering volunteers a 50% discount on the cost of walking for each day volunteered, to allow pilgrims to contribute to both elements of our apostolate.
Donate to the Two Shrines Pilgrimage
Please consider making a donation, even if you are unable to attend. The Confraternity is a charity and relies entirely on pilgrimage fees and donations to deliver its apostolate, so the generosity of our donors is greatly appreciated.
Unable to join this year? The Two Shrines Pilgrimage always takes place in mid-July, leaving Edinburgh on Saturday and reaching St Andrews the following Monday. Registrations open on Easter Monday and close on 30 June.
