Iona

This is an image taken inside the abbey at Iona, in Scotland.  The island of Iona is only 3 miles long and about a mile wide, and the total population is about 100.  It's an eerie place.  Far north and west in Scotland, and desolate.  But it has apparently been a spiritual place throughout history.  The Druids worshipped here, and it is the site of Columba's base for his missionary trips into Scotland beginning in the sixth century.  The nunnery is in ruins, but the abbey has been restored.  A cold wind blows off the ocean so that even on the brightest summer day, you must pull your coat around you.
