Iona Through Turmoil to a sacred island restored
The 1561 Scottish Reformation altered Iona’s fate as Benedictine monks were scattered and ruins grew. Lord Argyll later gave the abbey to the Church of Scotland, and the Iona Community was founded in 1938 to address social needs while restoration of the abbey and grounds continued. The island’s sale crisis in 1974 ended with Lord Fraser gifting Iona to the National Trust, preserving its spiritual and historic heritage.
