Scope and Content South choir-arcade 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 relief-carvings on the capital of the W respond of the arcade. It shows a man in a short tunic holding the leash of a what may be a crouching lion, though is now rather weathered. Beyond are two sets of foliage carvings and a hound. The S choir-aisle was first built in the early 13th century when the choir was extended. Later 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.
