Oban-Mull-Iona-Tobermory

Today we travelled by ferry to the Island of Mull. The scenery we passed was very beautiful with a castle, lighthouse and many small boats along the way. When we landed on Mull we caught a bus to the ferry for Iona. again passing incredible scenery along the way. The island of Iona is very special---historically and spiritually. The monks here wrote the Book of Kells before they had to move it to Kell when they came under attack. The MOnastry and Abbey are wonderful buildings and there are still pilgrims staying at Iona to this day. The photos here are so great its hard for me to pick a good one.
I loved Iona----the wild beauty of the Island and the history but more importantly the feeling of peace and spitituality that pervades this island. We then travelled to Tobermory but that's tomorrows story.
