The story

Story · Iona Abbey

You're standing at Iona Abbey, on a small island off the west coast of Mull. It feels like the edge of the world out here. Yet this was once one of the most important Christian centres in Scotland. In 563, Saint Columba sailed over from Ireland with twelve companions and founded a monastery. From this little island, Christianity spread across Scotland.
