  William Jackson, Inchcolm   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Inchcolm takes its name from the rocky isle in the Firth of Forth which holds a monastery dedicated to St. Columba of Iona, and it is fitting that the disc is populated by a series of musical meditations or tone poems.
Lest this appear to be an exercise in relaxing lethargy, however, lend an ear to the opener, "Corryvreckan." As lively and full of energy as the whirlpool which it evokes, it is a sprightly beginning to a musical journey which is global in its scope.
He says quite a bit of it here on Inchcolm, and though the instrumentation ranges from the orchestral to the intimate, the message is one to both challenge and delight the listener.

  Inchcolm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Inchcolm (Scottish Gaelic: Innis Choluim - Island of Columba) is an island in the Firth of Forth, east of the Forth Bridge, south of Aberdour, Fife, and north of the City of Edinburgh in Scotland.
The main feature of the island is the former Augustinian Inchcolm Abbey (Historic Scotland), Scotland's most complete surviving example of a monastic house.
Inchcolm can be reached by the public by the ferry service from South Queensferry, the Maid of the Forth, found directly below the Forth Bridge.

 Inchcolm - Placenames
The commonplace assumption about the meaning of "Inchcolm" as a placename is that it simply and unproblematically derives from the Gaelic for "St. Columba's Isle", but the actuality is far more complex and intriguing, as is often the case with deceptively obvious placenames once popular myths are stripped away.
Inchcolm is in fact one of four "inches" in the Firth of Forth, the others being Inchgarvie, Inchmickery, and Inchkeith, and these placenames certainly suggest an overall Gaelic context, something which is quite rare South of the river in Lothian.
Certainly, the abbey on Inchcolm was dedicated to Columba by its own "founder", King Alexander I around 1124, and this Columban association gave rise to the popular epithet of Inchcolm as the "Iona of the East".
