Scope and Content Church 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 church dates from the early 13th century and comprises a nave with a chancel, and with an aisle running along the north side. Abandoned in the 16th century, the ruins were consolidated in 1874 and the church partially restored in 1923. This view shows the north respond (or end column) of the arch between the nave-aisle and the north chapel. The column is formed from a pair of shafts and ends in a carved capital. The arch is carved with roll mouldings and dog-tooth ornament. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
