Scope and Content South choir-aisle at Iona Abbey, Argyll and Bute The Benedictine abbey at Iona was built around AD 1200 on the site of St Columba's earlier monastery. It was altered and partly rebuilt in the 13th century and again in the 15th century. It became derelict after the Reformation of 1560. This drawing shows the rather complicated profile-moulding of the E window of the aisle. The exterior section makes use of hollow chamfers and rebates. The inner section has a large chamfer on one corner, and hollow chamfers and rebates on the other. The S choir-aisle was first built in the early 13th century when the choir was extended. Later in the same century, it formed part of the large SE transept. It was rebuilt during the 15th century, along with the majority of the S side of the church. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
