Iona

The Isle of Iona is tiny in size but huge in terms of special charm, wildlife, beauty, global influence and fascinating history. Known as the “cradle of Christianity”, Iona has an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, enhanced by shell-sand beaches and fringed with intense blue-green seas. Accessed by a short ferry journey from the Ross of Mull, your first stop might be a visit to the Abbey. But Iona has many other exceptional qualities waiting for you to experience; an unspoiled natural environment where rare wildlife thrives.

Die heilige Insel Iona ist ein Juwel westlich der Insel Mull. Die Landschaft ist einzigartig, traumhaft schön. Ein Kloster erinnert daran, dass die Christianisierung Gross Britanniens auf Iona begann. Zwischen der Insel Mull und der heiligen Insel Iona hat das Meer eine prächtige, grün-blaue Färbung, die an südlichere Gestaden erinnert. The Holy Island of Iona is a jewel to the west of the Isle of Mull. The landscape is unique and breathtakingly beautiful. A monastery reminds us that the Christianisation of Great Britain began on Iona. Between the Isle of Mull and the Holy Island of Iona, the sea has a magnificent green-blue colour reminiscent of more southerly shores.
