Isle Of Iona
Iona is a tiny island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western coastline of Scotland. It is primarily understood for Iona Abbey, though there are other structures on the island. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for three centuries as well as is today understood for its family member tranquility and also natural environment. It is a traveler destination and also a place for spiritual hideaways. Its contemporary Scottish Gaelic name indicates "Iona of (Saint) Columba" (previously anglicised "Icolmkill"). The island, aside from the land possessed by the Iona Cathedral Trust, was purchased from the Duke of Argyll by Hugh Fraser in 1979 and also given away to the National Trust for Scotland. In 2001 Iona's population was 125 and also by the time of the 2011 census this had actually expanded to 177 normal locals.
