Aosdana is a beautiful gallery & studio on Iona selling contemporary & traditional jewellery.

Three years ago, I bought a bracelet and a ring here that have brought me such pleasure that I wear them every day. This year, I got earrings. These pieces are crafted with such respect for Iona, incorporating designs that reflect its heritage and culture, and are beautifully rendered in the finest silver. I enjoy looking at my bracelet on hectic days and remembering the peace and tranquility of this little island, so steeped in antiquity and joy.

Iona Heritage Centre

Learn about island life over the last few centuries; the fishing and crofting community, school and churches, artists, craftworkers, visitors and memorable events. View old photographs and search the family trees for your ancestors, many of whom emigrated to the New World. There is also information about the geology and wild flowers of Iona. The Heritage Centre's gift shop has a wide range of quality gifts and souvenirs including a good selection of books about Iona.

Heritage is what Iona is all about. The island is steeped in history, spirituality and the reality of where St. Columba first set foot in Scotland.

The Iona Community's Welcome Centre and Shop

Reviewed By joanhart - Wellington, New Zealand

While I was ther ein August last year, I bought a cross with lovely stuffed Iona cross with silver emboidery. Can anyone help me as I would like to buy another one for my Mothers birthday. Iona has been on my bucket list for over 45 years and I loved the history, the quiet, the activities and appreciated the chance to pray in solitude.
