2 reviews of Iona Island

The abbey is the main attraction

Excellent

Iona is a small island belonging to the group of islands of the Inner Hebrides and next to the Isle of Mull, separated by the narrow strait of Iona. This island is famous for its scenery, peace and tranquility. In fact its fame is given on religious grounds with ancient origins, for the visit and stay of St. Columba (a Celtic name without translation, perhaps we could say St. Columbus, but this is neither accurate nor appropriate), founder and Catholic relgion transmitter in Scotland, with blessing and permission of the Pope of Rome. The general ignorance about these saints in Southern Europe is simply because over time were classified as Catholics - Celtic and were simply not mentioned or studied at school.
