⛪ Iona Abbey, founded by St Columba in 563 AD, is one of Scotland’s most historic and sacred sites. Although little remains of the original buildings, the current abbey dates back to the 13th century and was restored in the early 20th century
👑 Nearby, the burial grounds of Reilig Òdhrain hold significant importance as the final resting place of several early Scottish kings
