On my second day on the Isle of Mull, I finally got to do what I had originally alread planned for the day before: a visit to the Isle of Iona. This small island was an important center for Celtic Christianity almost 1,500 years ago. However, it also has some nice beaches to offer (even for swimming, if you are brave enough – which I am not).
This blog entry is an abridged version of the original entry in German.
