Old travel Blog photograph of tourists leaving by boat from the Island of Iona in the Inner Hebrides off the West coast of Scotland. These days visitors can reach Iona by the 10 minute ferry trip across the Sound of Iona from Fionnphort on Mull. The most common route is via Oban in Argyll and Bute. Regular ferries connect to Craignure on Mull, from where the scenic road runs 37 miles to Fionnphort. Tourist coaches and local bus services meet the ferries. Iona is a tourist destination and a place for spiritual retreats. Its modern Gaelic name means " Iona of Saint Columba " formerly anglicised " Icolmkill ".
