So the tour continued from the Isle of Mull in to the crossing by ferry from there to the peaceful Isle of Iona. But this island although it became a training centre for Monks who would in those early years live in beehive shaped stone huts, where they would meditate in solitude within their prayers. It became a major pilgrimage centre when the Abbey was built.. Iona is also an Isle situated upon the trading routes between Ireland and Western Scotland. And many Kings are buried there.. Many scholars believe that The Book of Kells started its creative life there in the 8th Century.
It also saw its share of violence in many Viking raids as they plundered the riches of the Abbey. Many Monks were slaughtered during this time.. More history of these events you can find out by clicking the underlined links .
The Ferry came in as we waited on the shores of Mull, above are the stunning views as we waited for the Ferry.
The Isle of Iona is a serene Isle which only has a population of around 13o people.
It has one of the oldest and most sacred religious places in all of western Europe.. It was founded by St Columba in AD 563, the fully restored Abbey is one of Scotland’s most significant and sacred sites which is reputed to be the burial place of 48 Kings of Scotland, including Macbeth.
The first site to greet us was the ruins of the Old Nunnery, which was founded in 1200, by Reginald, son of Somerled (Lord of the Isles). Who installed his sister Beatrice there as prioress forming the first order of Nuns there. The Nunnery earned the name of The Black Church because of the black habits worn by the nuns
This part of the Abbey has not been restored and still lays in ruins.
Before we walked the rest of the way up to the Abbey of Iona we went past a small cottage with a sign in its window.. Home Made Soup.. It was well past lunch time so we went in and had a take away bowl of home made broccoli soup and home made bread roll. The occupants were delighted to see so many of our coach party and promptly sent the message back into their kitchen as more soup was put on as we said there were at least 40 more walking up the hill .. It was delicious
Just a little further along we got to the Abbey of Iona Gates If you look you can see a Stone Cross in the middle of the Abbey above the people walking. More photo’s and information can be found Here about these Crosses which have looked out across this ever changing World for more than 1,200 years.
We went walk about’s in the time allotted to explore a little bit more of this community and passed the local Fire Station
We went exploring some more coming across this memorial cross with the names of those who gave their lives in the 1914-1918 Great War.. And one must wonder what impact losing so many husbands and sons had on this small community.. The names of which and closer pictures of this cross can be found at the sight of The Scottish Military Research Group Here
And to finish off this beautiful peaceful time spent on the Isle before we caught the next to ferry back to the Isle of Mull I will share these lovely views with you.
Wishing you ALL a very Peaceful Weekend
Love and Blessings
~Sue~

There’s a netflix series called Reign that has captured my attention (and gives me a nice break from time to time from studying), the intro has a lovely soulful song by the Lumineer’s called Scotland that often gets stuck in my head. I haven’t been to Edinburgh since the 1990s but the isles, believe it or not, I think about (solely in my mind — hahaha, not!) quite often these days. And you’ve taken me there with you! I can’t believe there’s only 130 people on the isle of Iona. Xo Ka

I don’t know, Sue. Maybe I would feel the isolation. I have to say that your picture of the local post office makes me delighted. There’s something upon seeing a local post office that makes me feel like I’ve been to a place. I suppose sometimes the spaciousness of a land might help people feel a little bit freer (is there internet?). Sure, these are speculations, but there’s something I remember about the land nearby, the land I visited, being triggered (in a good way) from these images. Also, the war memorial shows many young who had died too early in my opinion. We are so fortunate… we who live and get to read and watch or visit about the tales. We who can feel the energy and travel through time. We are fortunate to connect, even with the emptiness of a moment, for surely the next moment brings connection. Have a beautiful rest of your week, Sue!

Yes Thank you David, As I saw the ruins and thought on those Nuns and Monks.. I wondered upon their own experiences.. Peace being shattered in invasions.
And I look upon the world today as I shake my head as the news headlines only today say the UK is to invest more millions in building a Fleet of new Navel Destroyers to keep the PEACE.. I laughed out loud.. at the absurdity of us Humans.. War never brings Peace.. Only more destruction.. And I sighed as I thought back to those Viking Days of Old.. And the laws of the land have not progressed much further forward have they..
But more and more I see the Collective ‘WE’ standing up for Peace.. and that brings Hope for Peace to my heart.. And one day I hope too these troubled lands will one day look upon their own ruins and come to know the sense of Peace I found on the shores of Iona..
Love and Blessings to you my friend.. Thank you!
