Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 56.33406685116364, -6.39505187701911 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : the very well preserved medieval Abbey, other medieval remains, beaches and cottages in front of the cliffs, some specimens of birdlife such as goldfinches, sparrows, white-throated gulls, seagulls, other seabirds, the "bluebells" between April and May. It is a very beautiful island from a landscape point of view, where you can breathe an almost mystical atmosphere. It is so small that it is possible to walk around it (only residents' vehicles are allowed). It is also possible to take captivating shots during the boat crossing, as you approach the island.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle lens for landscapes and telephoto lens for birdlife encounters

Best months : Like all the islands of Scotland, the climate is very variable: in late spring and summer you are perhaps more likely to find the sea calm and sunnier weather, but I imagine that in winter and autumn it will not lose its unique charm.

How to get there : It can be reached from the nearby Isle of Mull by a small ferry (quite frequent, every 30 minutes in spring and summer): the port of departure on the Isle of Mull is Fionnporth, while the landing on Iona is in the bay of the only village on the island, a few meters from the abbey

Visits : Visiting the island is free, while the ferry is paid (£8 return in April 2024). There is a fee to visit the abbey, but you can admire and photograph it even without accessing the courtyard of the site for a fee.
