IONA The island of Iona is situated to the West of Scotland. Iona is a very small island. In fact it is one of the smallest islands in the Atlantic. The population of the island is not large. There are not very many people there. Life on the island is very different from life in town; there are no big shops or blocks of flats or busy roads. There is only one car on the island, but every family has a boat. There is lots of fish and crabs in the sea. The houses have no modern conveniences. There is no electricity for electric lights and no running water. So in the summer people are up with the sun and in bed with the sun, too. In the winter they have oil lamps or candles in their cottages. Iona is a wonderful place for a holiday. It is very quiet there. There are hundreds of holiday-makers there every summer. There are beautiful long beaches where the sand is very, very white, and most of the time the sea is very clear. In fact Iona is famous for its beaches. The island also has its historical place of interest – the ancient Abbey, which is on a small hill in the middle of the island. In fact there is very little of the old Abbey today, only the walls and the old stone church. After a holiday on Iona life in a big city with its noise, tall houses, big shops and heavy traffic is a great contrast.
