Iona Abbey

Combined with the activities that were carried away in Iona, only a very short distance away was the convent of the Augustinian order, which today remain only the ruins. The visitor's imaginations wander to when it was once a convent with full activity, although small in size. The foundation of the XIII century convent and its destruction, as usual, was the work of religious reform undertaken by Henry VIII in all of Britain (with some caveats). The original name was Gaelic convent "Eaglais Dhubh" (Black Church, by the color of the habits of the nuns of the order). You can visit for free because the ruins are not in great condition.
