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 is a view of the refectory taken from the east range. The back (south) wall and the two end gables can be seen. Very little of the east range itself now remains. In the centre of the buildings are the foundations of the cloister-arcade.
