Iona was one of the places that we always visited every time we went to Mull. Having said that there were a couple of years when the weather was so bad in May that the ferry to Iona did not sail.
It is not the biggest ferry in the world and can be very busy. You cannot take your car onto the island and there are always plenty of foot passengers. Although Fionnphort is only about 60 miles from Tobermory by road, it can take 2 hours on the single track road.
Thousands of visitors go to the island to visit the Abbey
a lot visit the grave of John Smith
The main reason for my visits have been to see the corncrakes
Near the fire station and around the Abbey can be good places to see the birds.
other birds I often see on the island are cuckoos
