IONA CHURCHES

The Isle of Iona with its population of 90 was where St. Columba landed in his coracle in 563AD to bring Christianity to Britain. Iona is home to the ruins of an ancient nunnery, a restored medieval abbey, various churches and the reputed burial ground of 48 Scottish kings. It is just three miles long and one and a half miles wide so it is possible to walk around Iona in a day with plenty of time to spend in the Abbey, Nunnery, Churches and burial ground.
