A beautiful beach and a distant view of the abbey on the enchanting island of Iona, off the tip of the Isle of Mull. This is a place that pilgrims have been visiting for the better part of fifteen centuries and tourists for over three. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ion

A beautiful beach and a distant view of the abbey on the enchanting island of Iona. The image shows a white sandy beach in the foreground at low tide, with patches of rock showing and the clear sea lapping in from the bottom right of the frame. Across the middle of the frame, closer on the left, is a line of mainly stone two-storey houses. Beyond their far end, in the right middle of the frame, is distant Iona Abbey. The sky is blue.

#DogWalkingGeology These outcrops of flaggy Moine metasediments at Suidhe near Bunessan were allegedly quarried to restore Iona Abbey in the C19th. Spud has found a big stick and does not care about rocks today. #Mull #Geology #IonaAbbey

A black and white smooth-haired collie is in the centre-right of the picture, looking very pleased with themselves and carrying a large, dark, waterlogged birch log through clumps of rushes. On the left of the picture slabby grey layers of rock slope steeply down into grass. In the background, the sky is dark leaden grey.

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. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ion

The image shows Iona Abbey from the west under largely blue skies with a layer of high cloud. The abbey church is on the right and other buildings are to the left of it. The foreground is grassy and the sea can be glimpsed in the background.

Random Schottland-Foto heute: Iona Abbey. Der irische Mönch Columba hat 563 das Christentum auf die Insel gebracht und hier eine wichtige geistliche Community gegründet; das Gebäude stammt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Nach der Reformation 1560 wurde es verlassen und verfiel. Inzwischen ist die Abbey restauriert; auf Iona gibt es heute eine ökumenische Gemeinde. Und Schafe. Viele, viele Schafe.

Die Iona Abtei aus dem 13. Jahrhundert - ein massives Gebäude aus grauem Stein - vor einem graublauen Wolkenhimmel vor grünem Gras.

This is a digital drawing of Iona Abbey inspired by a photo taken by my friend Karin. I'm a member of the Iona Community and fall of my books are published by them but I'm not sure if I'll ever manage to get there, creating this was almost as good.
