The tiny island of Iona has been a vibrant centre of Christian
worship since Columba arrived in AD 563. His monastery thrived for
centuries, despite repeated Viking raids beginning in 795. Around
1200, the abbey and nunnery were founded, introducing new forms of
worship and new buildings, while still welcoming pilgrims to St
Columba's shrine. Even after the Protestant Reformation of 1560
brought an end to Scotland's monasteries, Iona served briefly as a
Cathedral of the Isles. Restoration of the buildings began in 1899,
and in 1938 the Iona Community was formed, revitalising the abbey's
spiritual role. This unique site bears witness to a long history of
religious practice that still flourishes today.
