An interview with Dom Alban
Fr Alban spent the majority of his secondary education as a schoolboy at St Benedict's Abbey, Fort Augustus where he he not only excelled at sports and at his studies but also played the role of Hamlet in Shakespeare's play. His time as a military chaplain made a deep impression on him.
