Embark on a captivating journey to the mesmerizing Isle of Iona, a small island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Rich in history and spiritual significance, Iona is a haven of tranquility and natural beauty.
In this immersive video, we'll explore the historical landmarks that have stood the test of time, including the iconic Iona Abbey, founded by St. Columba in 563 AD, and the medieval Nunnery of St. Mary. Learn about the island's Celtic Christian heritage and how it became a center of learning and religious art during the Dark Ages. Uncover the stories of Scottish kings who rest in the sacred Reilig Odhráin graveyard, and marvel at the intricate designs of the St. Martin's Cross.
But Iona is more than just history - it's also an idyllic destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. We'll take you on scenic hikes to the white sandy beaches of the Bay at the Back of the Ocean and the picturesque Marble Quarry. Catch a glimpse of the diverse birdlife at the RSPB Loch Gruinart Nature Reserve and get a chance to spot seals, dolphins, or even the occasional whale in the surrounding waters.
Join us as we delve into the past and present of the enchanting Isle of Iona, and be inspired to plan your own unforgettable journey to this magical Scottish sanctuary.

watching from Nebraska! Felt like I was coming home! Great video! Really appreciate seeing all of the places! I've never been in person and now I must go! Inspiring!
Reading this comment from Nebraska! Cheers!
Beautiful island and cool ruins. The beginning of the end of the Picts' and Scots' traditional way of life though. 😥
Thanks for showing us around Shaun! 💜
I definitely want to visit the isle of Iona. Thanks Shaun for giving us a taste of it.
Every video just gets better. What a beautiful country you get to call home. Thanks for sharing this with us 💜🙂
One of my favorite destinations in Scotland! S I peaceful and serene. I could just wander all day. Thanks for going through that tiny door in the chapel. It was locked when I visited and I have wondered ever since what was behind that door!
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you for showing us this beautiful place. When I was in Scotland years ago, I bought some Iona stone jewelry, but I never managed to get to the island itself.
That water is extremely clear.
How pretty 💫
FANTASTIC!! But I have a question… why was the statue wrapped in shrink wrap (plastic wrap)?
Great video and absolutely beautiful big like 🩵👍👏👏👏
