If you go to Isle of Mull there is no question you need to take a day trip to Isle of Iona. The Abbey and history are incredible plus the cute shops and lunch stops! Go, take your time, and enjoy the beauty!

The Abbey is well curated, and looked after. Beautiful, peaceful setting.The remnants of the nunnery still has allure and intrigues.Well worth the visit.

This is a beautiful serene island.We travelled from Fort William as a day trip.Worth visiting if you like christian history, a sense of monastic life, and the tranquility of a small Scottisg Island.

Iona Abbey was absolutely beautiful. It was quiet, peaceful and felt very surreal. You could feel the history and the peace walking around and throughout the nunnery. I lit a candle for my grandmother who passed away in April at the church and it was an emotional and spiritual moment I will never forget. They have a little museum in the back of the Abbey filled with all the history of the church that I highly recommend people go and check out. It was incredible to read about how the Abbey perservered throughout history.

My God, where do you start? Simply stunning ancient and beautifully preserved Abbey complex that oozes history from each and every corner. See grave markers, cloisters,ancient High crosses and buildings with spectacular carvings to name just a few. Well worth the entry price as you also get an audio guide that is very helpful in explaining what you are looking at. Magnificent experience and highly recommended.

Well worth visiting for its justified iconic (and historic) status. Entry fee with usual discounts. Good onsite museum. Only a few minutes walk from the ferry landing.

Hundreds of years of the faithful praying and worshipping has soaked into the stones of this place. Be still and you can feel the holiness. Expertly restored and maintained ancient place of worship. Attend a service if you can most nights at 9pm as well as Sunday. Thanks to the Iona Community for keeping the site relevant. Steeped in History. Take your time to learn about it. Be sure to see the museum as well.

I would say this is a must see" if you visit Mull. A good drive or bus trip from Craignure. No tourist cars allowed on the island. A short ferry ride. It's quite a spiritual place for many people & pilgrims. You can just visit the Nunnery ruins & Abbey or walk around the island as well if you want to do more."

I came here to (Mull/Iona) on pilgrimage to the Orthodox Monastery of All Celtic Saints. What blessings I have received and still am receiving from this holy place. Yes, it is a tourist attraction and you can process it beautifully that way.But it's true reality"
