Ceanglan Chaluim Chille explored cultural links between Ireland and Scotland, inspired by the legacy of Colmcille (St. Columba) in Argyll and Bute. Three residencies were designed based on the outcomes of Cuairt Chaluim Chille (Touring St. Columba), delivered by CHARTS 2023 to 2024. Ceanglan Chaluim Chille further developed collaboration between Argyll and Ireland through shared cultural themes across borders.
