ISLE OF IONA
There are few more uplifting sights on Scotland's west coast than the view of Iona from
Mull on a sunny day - an emerald island set in a sparkling turquoise sea. From the moment
you step off the ferry you begin to appreciate the hushed, spiritual atmosphere that per-
vades this sacred island. Not surprisingly, Iona attracts a lot of day trippers, so if you want
to experience the island's peace and quiet, spend a night here. Once the crowds have gone
for the day, you can wander in peace around the ancient graveyard where the early kings of
Scotland are buried, attend an evening service at the abbey, or walk to the top of Dun I and
gaze south towards Ireland, as St Columba must have done so many centuries ago.
