Iona Abbey Images
These are some of the contestants for the Mr and Mrs Iona 2005. There was one catch, They had to be cross dressed, the guy with his hands on his knees and a scarf on his head won, and he deserved to because he was absolutly hilarious, I have to say he is the next Lilly Savage.
This guy was one of the best Mrs Iona contestants, He was eqaully funny as the the winner. I wouldn't of minded if he came first.
This is the Bedroom that I stayed in with 2 others (the one on the far right and another person who is not pictured).
This is one of the painting in the hallway on the second floor of the Abbey, in which only guests get to see because it's not open to visitors

These where burial stones of some important people. These too were in the museum.
This cross is one of the originals, I think it was the original Saint martins cross (if the one a few pictures up isn't) I know one of them is the original saint martins cross and I cant remember which one it was.
