27. Martyr’s Bay

Walking back through the golf course from the west coast of Iona I rejoined the coast road and turned left to the ferry terminal. I could see the small ferry chugging it’s way over from Fionnphort but had time to briefly check in on Martyr’s Bay, the handily placed small beach adjacent to the terminal. Popular with families and for a quick paddle while waiting for the ferry, Martyr’s Bay recalls the killing of 68 monks here by the Vikings in 806 AD. How very family-friendly.
