Isle Of Iona
Iona is a little island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland. It is primarily recognized for Iona Abbey, though there are other structures on the island. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for 3 centuries and is today understood for its family member harmony and natural environment. It is a vacationer destination and also a location for spiritual retreats. Its contemporary Scottish Gaelic name means "Iona of (Saint) Columba" (formerly anglicised "Icolmkill"). The island, aside from the land owned by the Iona Cathedral Trust, was bought from the Duke of Argyll by Hugh Fraser in 1979 and donated to the National Trust for Scotland. In 2001 Iona's population was 125 as well as by the time of the 2011 census this had actually expanded to 177 typical homeowners.
