The Abbey on St. Columba's sacred Isle of Iona at the village of Baile Mor off the south-west corner of Mull.

A sanctuary.

A refuge.

Places have natural peace and tranquillity.

Places have geographical isolation.

Some, like here, have a…… “feeling.”

An atmosphere.

An ambience.

A spiritual dimension that transcends its physical reality.

Such a place is Iona Abbey.

A place of calmness and serenity for body, mind and soul.

This sceptred isle of pure sea, air and countless silver shell-sand beaches, off the south-west peninsula of Mull, the Ross of Mull, offers endless vistas of mountain, islands and the mighty Atlantic.

St. Columba first brought Christianity here over 1,450 years ago.

A place of pilgrimage.

A wonderful island.

A Holy place.

Special.

Pure.

Unique.
