Off the Beaten Track on the Island of Iona

Starting at the ferry terminal, in some wild and woolly weather, Clare is led by expert guide, David Allaway, around some spectacular beaches and hidden coves

Clare is walking on the beautiful island of Iona in today鈥檚 Ramblings. One of the Inner Hebrides, Iona is just three miles long by around a mile wide yet punches well above its weight both in terms of scenery and history. Her companion is David Allaway: a keen photographer, founding member of the island鈥檚 craft co-operative and a volunteer fire-fighter he also runs guided walking tours. Beginning and ending at the ferry terminal, they circumnavigate the coast at the north end of the island.

See the 'related links' box at the bottom of the Ramblings webpage for more info about David Allaway.
