Scope and Content Cloister-arcade of Iona Nunnery, Argyll an 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. Very little evidence of the cloister-arcade now survives, though enough fragments remain to give an idea of how it looked. It was first built during the 13th century. During the 15th century, the east range was rebuilt allowing for a larger cloister area. This drawing shows what the reconstructed cloister-arcade would have looked like originally. The arches were cusped and ogee-headed, giving a leaf-like shape. They appear to be similar to those in the nave-arcade, though smaller. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
