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 drawing shows the external detail of the window in the refectory's west gable. It consists of a simple rebated round-headed opening. The design is 12th or early 13th century, and it is possible that the dressed stones are being reused. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
