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 detail carved on the south-west corner of the refectory. The corner is moulded with a simple edge-roll. The stone above it, forming the part of the coping of the west gable, is known as a skewput. It is decorated with two rosettes. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
