The Isle of Iona, Scotland

The Isle of Iona, Scotland

The lovely little Isle of Iona off Scotland's west coast [Inner Hebrides] has many dazzling white sand beaches with lots of character but few visitors - well, it is a long way to come for a swim and the water, though remarkably clear, is freezing much of the year and the winds and rain come and go with astonishing rapidity. Visiting cars are not allowed on the 1 mile long island. Reach Iona by a 10-minute ferry ride across the Sound of Iona from Fionnphort on Mull island, where you can rent a bicycle.
