St. Columba’s Bay

Perched on the southern tip of Iona, part of the Inner Hebrides islands off Scotland’s west coast, St. Columba’s Bay is steeped in history, said to be the landing site of St. Columba and his fellow monks in the 6th century. This remote bay offers a tranquil escape, with its rugged shoreline and serene waters. Visitors can explore the area where early Christian missionaries first set foot, and with some luck, catch a glimpse of Atlantic seals and their pups basking on the beach.
