The Isle of Iona is one of the most beautiful, remote places I’ve ever been. It’s a tiny Scottish Island off the coast of the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, on the west coast of Scotland, with ancient ruins, white sand beaches, and deep roots in early Christianity in Scotland.

As part of this Scottish Travel Vlog, I spent the day visiting the Iona Abbey and climbing to the top of Dùn Ì, which means ‘Hill of Iona’ in Scottish Gaelic, for views across the Hebrides. I also explored the beaches on Iona (some of the best beaches in Scotland) and reflected on the Viking raids that once devastated this tiny island.

Iona might be small, but it’s packed with Scottish history. If you’re planning to visit Scotland or explore some of the Scottish islands, I can highly recommend the Isle of Iona.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

Expensive carpark wow, you should visit Oxford, l'm convinced the council for this and other reasons is run by a bunch of crazy vultures! PS get Brompton to sponser you and maybe they will supply you with a freebie replacement clip on pump. Lovely presentation by the way.

Hubby and I did this exact trip about 15 years ago. What an amazing sacred place. We stayed at the Argyll Hotel. We went to a west-facing beach and one local Scotsman asked us if we knew what was across the ocean from that spot, we couldn't guess. He said Canada! We are Canadian and he said he could tell by our accent. :)

I was there in mid-March. The weather was lovely for that time of year, unfortunately Cal-Mac was still operating to a winter timetable so didn't have much longer than an hour and half on the island, and a lot was still closed.

This looks like the kind of stunning weather we had in Kenmore and Pitlochry. I have been there when the weather has been a bit more miserable though, and on those days you understand why some people are keen to move away from Scotland. Not me though. I'm always thinking about moving up there permanently , one of these days.
