Scope and Content Cloister 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 is a damaged quadruple base from the 13th-century cloister-arcade. Originally for supporting four columns at each corner of the arcade, only two of these bases now survive. The cloister was first built in the early 13th century. It was bounded by the nave and N transept to the S and E. The N and W sides were bounded by walls and later other buildings. It was remodeled in the 15th century and rebuilt in the mid 20th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
