Iona is pretty much Scotland's open-air equivalent of Westminster Abbey - there are supposed to be 48 Dalriadan/Scottish kings buried there, as well as eight Norwegian and four Irish kings. It also has some of the nicest beaches I have seen anywhere - although relatively few people ever go to them as they are mostly on the far side of the island from the pier and the abbey.
