For centuries it has been best known as the place where pilgrims and tourists head to start the last leg of their journey to Iona travelling by sea across the Sound of Iona. Many others take boat trips to Staffa and Fingal Cave and as a result the pier and slipway is very much the focus of the village’s activity. The local fishing fleet lands most days at the pier with their catch of crabs and lobsters destined for locations both near and far. There are a number of Bed & Breakfast establishments to be found within the village with a restaurant and café close by whilst the local grocer’s store is well stocked and provides your general day to day requirements. A couple of miles away can be found Fidden Beach with its pink granite outcrops and a large white sandy bay. The setting is absolutely wonderful with amazing sunsets and lots of wildlife to be seen, including seals basking on the rocks all mirrored by the crystal clear waters. Not far from Fidden can be found another Beach at Knockvologan which accesses the island of Erraid at low tide and is believed to be the inspiration behind Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped.

  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan
    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

  • Isle of Iona ENERGY AUDIT
    Isle of Iona ENERGY AUDIT compiled by Philip Ruhemann Coordinated by Scottish Islands Federation, Mull and Iona Community Trust, Community Energy Scotland and Local Energy Scotland September 2015 CONTENTS Background 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Island’s Energy Mix 4. Energy Supply 5. Total Energy Consumption 6. Electrical Energy Consumption 7. Domestic Energy Consumption 8. Public and Commercial Energy Consumption 9. Transport Energy Consumption 10. Cost Data and Expenditure 11. Assessment of the Potential for Fuel Switching 12. Island Community and Background 13. Island Demographics and Population 14. Local Economy Appendices: contacts and map Background Iona Community Council is supportive of exploring renewable energy sources for the island. Iona has typically been incorporated into statistics for the much larger neighbouring island of Mull. There is almost no published energy data relating specifically to Iona. The purpose of this report is to provide baseline information on energy consumption for the island as a starting point from which the local community can begin to research alternative and sustainable forms of energy supply. I am very grateful to the island community together with Robin MacCallum and Nikki at Gleaners who were all extremely helpful with providing data. Gordon Bruce provided help with graphics and presentation. Fuel oil is used for heating and is imported by via road and ferry. 1. Executive Summary Iona imports all of its energy apart from an extremely small proportion generated from approximately seven solar roof installations. Grid electricity is supplied by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) via an undersea cable from the isle of Mull. Heating oil, coal, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), propane and wood are all brought onto the island via a small number of local suppliers.
