Isle Of Iona
Iona is a small island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western shore of Scotland. It is generally known for Iona Abbey, though there are various other structures on the island. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for 3 centuries and is today understood for its family member tranquility as well as natural environment. It is a traveler destination as well as a place for spiritual retreats. Its modern-day Scottish Gaelic name suggests "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 contributed to the National Trust for Scotland. In 2001 Iona's population was 125 and by the time of the 2011 census this had actually expanded to 177 typical residents.
