About two kilometers across the strait from Mull at Fionnphort (finofort if you're not a Scot.) The Isle of Iona is the location of the earliest introduction of Christianity to Scotland, brought by Saint Columba from Ireland.

The chapel and burial ground of the MacDonald clan lies on the site.

Hello Kent Martens, what a beautiful shot, the best I have ever seen of this place

Kent Martens on January 21, 2008

Hi, Kurt,

Thanks for the kind comment. We really enjoyed the place, the sense of story about the people who'd been there. It's more scaled to people than some churches and I liked that.
