Iona

 

Iona, or Í in Gaelic, is a place to return to. It was already inhabited 6000 years ago. In the 6th century, St Columba founded a Christian church here - on that spot there is now an ancient abbey built at the start of the 13th century.

We started the day by visiting the Abbey where we had a very informative guided tour. We spent the day walking around the northern part of the island, saw lots of beautiful views, hills and beaches and had a delicious dinner at the Argyll Hotel.

Tomorrow we need to take the ferry to Fionnphort at 10:00 to cross Mull again in time to get to Craignure on time.
