Scope and Content Refectory of Iona Nunnery, Argyll and Bute The remains of this Augustinian nunnery stand on sheltered ground about 400 m south-west of the Abbey. They comprise the nunnery church and portions of the associated conventual buildings standing on the south side. The remains date from the 13th century. The refectory formed part of the south range and was probably entered via a doorway at the east end of the cloister-walk. It was originally a lofty, single-storeyed room, but during a later phase, a wooden floor was inserted into the eastern part. This drawing shows the interior detail of the window in the refectory's west gable. It has a steeply-splayed sill and sides which lead to a narrow, round-headed opening. The top of the surround is a simple slab lintel. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
