A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND
While on Iona we visit Iona Abbey. The building you see today was restored from a ruin in the years from 1902. It has origins that date back to the founding of a Benedictine monastery here in about 1200 on a site not far from a monastery founded by St Columba over six centuries earlier.
