Scope and Content Nunnery on Iona, 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 plan shows the layout and different building phases of the nunnery. The church, on the north side, has a single aisle, nave and chancel. The chapter-house was one of three buildings on the east side of the cloister, with the refectory to the south. 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.
