Iona





The last stop in the Hebrides is Iona, famous as the site the Book of Kells was started before it made its journey to Ireland. We saw the ruins of the nunnery, and the Abbey. It used to be the center of trade when ferries were more common, and many of the Scottish kings are buried there (Notably Macbeth and Duncan both rest there).
