More about this scene

Iona lies just off the extreme south-west shores of Mull. In 1203, the Benedictines founded a monastery on the island that lasted until the Reformation. In 1899, the 8th Duke of Argyll presented the ruins of the abbey to the Church of Scotland, in the hope that restoration work might be undertaken. The building was eventually re-roofed, and used for worship once again in 1910.
