Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Iona lies approximately 1 mile from the coast of Mull. It is 1 mile wide and 3 miles long with a resident population of 125. The geology of the island consists mainly of Precambrian Lewisian gneiss with Torridonian sedimentary rocks on the eastern side and small outcrops of pink granite on the eastern beaches. Like other places swept by ocean breezes, there are few trees with most of these being located around the parish church area.
