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. This view shows the ruined nunnery from the west. The church is on the left and the refectory on the right. In between is the cloister, though very little of this, or the east range, now remains. The layout of the nunnery, and most of the existing buildings, are from the original, 13th-century, construction. Towards the end of the 15th century, the buildings of the south and west ranges were rebuilt to allow for a larger cloister. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
